Summary

Between 21st July and 6th August 2016 monitoring was undertaken by SNH and Heriot-Watt University in an area in the north-west of Mousa, within the Mousa SAC (also part of the Mousa to Boddam MPA), to improve knowledge of the occurrence and distribution of species and habitats of recognized conservation importance. A maerl bed (Priority Marine Feature) was surveyed using diver cores along a single 25m transect. Four diver core samples were collected in total for particle size analysis (PSA) and infaunal identification.
