Short extract:

Hi All,

I am cur­rently study­ing for my mas­ters degree in Envi­ron­men­tal Impact Assess­ment and Man­age­ment at the Uni­ver­sity of Man­ches­ter. As part of the course, we have to com­plete a 15,000-word dis­ser­ta­tion on a topic which we want to research. I decided to do a study on Bio­di­ver­sity Off­set­ting, which is titled: An assess­ment of the effec­tive­ness of bio­di­ver­sity off­set­ting prac­tice within the UK EIA system.

In order to do this, I have been using sci­en­tific jour­nals, case stud­ies from the DEFRA off­set­ting pilot and gath­er­ing infor­ma­tion from pro­fes­sion­als who have expe­ri­ence with this system.

I am writ­ing on here to appeal to any­one who could pos­si­bly con­tribute to my dis­ser­ta­tion through any insight that they have into this sys­tem, opin­ions on how the cur­rent sys­tem oper­ates and poten­tial rec­om­men­da­tions on how prac­tice could be fur­ther enhanced in the future etc.

If you have any infor­ma­tion which you would like to share, please do not hes­i­tate to con­tact me either through LinkedIn, or my uni­ver­sity email: christopher.seaton-3@postgrad.manchester.ac.uk.
Any infor­ma­tion shared can remain anony­mous if you so wish, and I could also pro­vide a let­ter from the uni­ver­sity if necessary.
