Summary

Benthic habitat survey of protected seabed habitats undertaken within the South Arran MPA between the 14th - 20th July 2015 by SNH for SNH on board the vessel MRV Seol Mara. The primary aim of the grab survey was to establish current baseline conditions for a range of features present within the site, against which future change can be determined. 36 grab samples were collected at 4 sites within the South Arran MPA during this survey period (15-19th). Faunal identification and sediment particle size analysis (PSA) of the grab samples was undertaken and biotopes assigned to each sample by Precision Marine Survey Ltd, contracted by SNH. Reporting of the results from the video survey in South Arran has not yet been completed.
