In 2025, Carbon Neutral Britain became Studland Bay Marine Partnership’s principle supporter. The funding they provide, along with other supporters, is vital for the work we do.
The overall cost each year for providing and maintaining the eco-moorings and monitoring the seagrass is £102,000. The eco-moorings fees bring in around £25,000 so there is a shortfall of £77,000. This shortfall is covered by money raised through donations, corporate supporters and grants.
James Poynter, Director of Carbon Neutral Britain, said:
“We are proud to be the principal supporter of the Studland Bay Marine Partnership, a project that reflects our commitment to driving meaningful climate action here in the UK alongside our verified offsetting initiatives around the world. Protecting and restoring seagrass habitats in Studland Bay delivers a powerful dual benefit: enhancing marine biodiversity while also capturing and storing carbon via biomass and organic matter in marine sediments.
“These vital ecosystems play a crucial role in the fight against climate change, and by supporting their preservation, we are investing in a more resilient and sustainable future for both nature and communities.”
