Lineage

Intertidal survey of the rocky shore habitats within the Drigg Coast European Marine Site (EMS). The surveys were undertaken to determine the presence and extent of characteristic boulder and cobble scar habitats and determine the species composition of characteristic biotopes primarily mussel beds and tideswept boulders with Fucus ceranoides. The surveys consisted of Phase I style biotope mapping and targeted quantitative quadrat (0.25m2) surveys. Where barnacles were present in quadrats, two photographs were taken of representative sections (each 5cm x 5cm) for future analysis if required. The project allowed comparison with historic data (Woombs, 1999 - see references) to some extent to make a preliminary condition assessment and also provided quantitative data to act as a baseline for future condition assessments on the species composition of the boulder and cobble scar biotopes.
