Abstract

Intertidal sediment infauna and epibiota species abundance data and associated habitat descriptors from a baseline survey of the Tong Saltings SSSI. The main aims of the survey were to provide sufficient information for site condition assessment and as a baseline for future site condition monitoring. Species abundance data and habitat data was collected in-situ.
