Title

Mapping the distribution of maerl in South Uist (Loch Boisdale), Western Isles. Lifeforms at Stuley Island

Abstract

Mapping the distribution of maerl in South Uist, Western Isles was a collaborative study between Scottish Natural Heritage and the BioMar Programme. The survey used acoustic techniques, video drops, ROV, grab samples and diver surveys. The result was a map of predicted biotope distribution.
