- To quantify carbon pools and fluxes in blue carbon habitats in Ireland
- To determine factors that control carbon preservation in these habitats, examining threats such as overgrazing and nitrogen pollution
- To identify climate adaptation measures specifically, assessing storm surge attenuation ability, identifying areas for managed realignment of coastal wetlands, and assessing benefits of invasive cordgrass (Spartina sp) for carbon storage
- To generate a management framework for the correct management of coastal wetlands based on findings from the study, and disseminate findings to stakeholders
