2004 The Marine Conservation Society - Seasearch, Lyme Bay Dorset, Dive survey

Abstract

Two weekends of diving by groups of divers, co-ordinated by Lin Baldock as Marine Conservation Society (MCS) dives, were carried out on 14th/15th August and 16th/17th October 2004 in Lyme Bay. Ten sites were covered and a total of 37 Seasearch forms completed between the various buddy pairs with 24 divers taking part. Divers ranged from professional marine biological surveyors and professional photographers to amateur marine biologist volunteers. Areas surveyed were between Beer Home Ground and Sawtooth Ledges and funding was provided by Devon Biodiversity Records Centre and Seasearch.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Data initially gathered by trained volunteer divers and provided in the form of Observation or more detailed Survey forms. Forms are subsequently validated and analysed (biotope assignment) by local experts before entry to the Marine Recorder database. Seasearch records are sent to the Marine Conservation Society and ultimately uploaded to the NBN Gateway.
