Title

2018 Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Forth Estuary Intertidal Seagrass Survey

Abstract

Trial Intertidal seagrass survey at several sites in the Forth Estuary, Scotland for EU Water Framework Directive Monitoring using the WFD (Angiosperm) Intertidal Seagrass tool. The tool looks at the species composition of the seagrass bed, the density (as percent cover) and the extent of the seagrass bed.

Data was collected by Marine Science staff in SEPA. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. Patch ID - refers to the seagrass patch shapefile the station is linked to and used to classify seagrass for WFD classification. Patch ID's which equal 0 mean there was no seagrass or it was located outwith a patch. Anoxic Layer depth - refers to the depth of the anoxic layer within the sediment. Standing water depth - refers to the depth of standing water on top of the sediment. None = no standing water. Surface = water on top of the surface but not deep enough to measure (i.e. less than 0.5cm). Shapefiles can be made available upon request via dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk.
