| Abstract | The CHASM partnership aims to identify causes behind the decline in crab and lobster catch, the decline in sea water and habitat quality, and the increased quantity of marine sediment on the UK south coast initially observed by the fishermen of Selsey Bill. These are questions that first emerged well over 15 years ago, but to which we are only starting to gain insight now. The work of CHASM includes acquiring and processing environmental samples and establishing correlation with other environmental and geospatial data from the region. |
