Title

Broad Scale Biotope Mapping of the Isle of May cSAC: subtidal lifeforms

Abstract

As part of the Forth Spatial Study the intertidal and subtidal areas of the Isle of May cSAC, and a surrounding 1km wide buffer zone were surveyed to provide a comprehensive broad scale biotope distribution map of the area. This dataset is a subtidal lifeforms map of the 1km buffer zone around the island. Additional information source: ERT (Scotland) Ltd (2003).
