Summary

The aim of this benthic survey in South Arran, run by SNH for SNH from the 17th-21st September 2015 onboard the Marine Scotland Science vessel MRV Alba na Mara (cruise 1415A), was to assess the condition of seabed habitats within the South Arran ncMPA. 54 grab samples were collected at 5 stations during this survey period (17-20th). Faunal identification and sediment particle size analysis (PSA) of the grab samples was undertaken and biotopes assigned to each sample by Seastar Survey Ltd, contracted by SNH. Dropdown video drifts at 24 stations were also undertaken on this survey (17-21st). Reporting of the results from the video survey in South Arran has not yet been completed.
