A fishing vessel was chartered to carry out a survey of razor clam ( *Ensis
siliqua* ) populations on the Cumbrian coast, aiming to establish whether a
commercially viable stock of razor clam existed in this area.

Initially scheduled for 2009, the survey was eventually completed in February
2010 due to inclement weather. The Seafish/Cefas experimental water-jet dredge
was employed north of Walney Island, but there were problems in deploying the
gear safely. Those problems added to the sea-time lost through poor weather.
In all, 34 dredge deployments were made, but at only 26 of these did the
dredge fish successfully.
