Summary

The main purpose of this 2014 study was to continue site condition monitoring of the intertidal features of the Kentra Bay and Moss SSSI, following the inauguration of monitoring in 2003, to facilitate assessment of the condition of the intertidal sediment flat habitats. The approach followed that taken in 2003, involving sampling at a series of 16 relocatable stations along 5 transects that reflect the biological and environmental diversity of the sediment flats in the SSSI. A subsidiary aim of the survey work was to produce a biotope map of the sediment flats. This involved supplementing the SCM data by walking over the area recording the nature of the substratum and conspicuous biota observed.
