On behalf of the Falkland Islands Government, the South Atlantic Environment Research Institute (SAERI), together with British Antarctic Survey (BAS), successfully competed for Darwin Plus funding (projej number DPLUS071) to begin investigations relating to marine resources, habitat structure and community composition, to better inform management decisions principally regarding marine spatial planning.
