Broadscale mapping of habitats in the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary, Scotland
A biotope mapping survey of the intertidal and subtidal habitats within the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary cSAC was undertaken in the summer of 2002, by a collaborative research group from the University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh University and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Mapping of the intertidal area of the cSAC was accomplished principally through the employment of satellite imagery. This imagery was ground truthed by data from intertidal surveys. This information supplemented the existing knowledge on the distribution of marine communities and sediments within the cSAC and all this information was used to produce a series of biotope classification maps.
