Martina Bristow is the Stronger Shores Seagrass and Seaweed Research Officer at Durham Wildlife Trust. Martina will be monitoring seagrass at eight sites across the Northumberland and Tyne and Wear coast, as well as deploying and monitoring a small-scale seaweed growing research facility at sea off the Durham coast. Martina will be exploring first-hand the potential difference that seagrass habitat restoration can make across our coastline. Monitoring data will be collected over the next few years and Martina is keen to understand how her findings will fit into the wider Stronger Shores Project and how the knowledge gathered can be best used to support efforts to reduce coastal erosion and improve local marine biodiversity in future.
