Abstract

Survey name: 2012 NE Baseline Survey of Submerged or Partially Submerged Sea Caves in Lyme Bay and Torbay cSAC. This is a collation of surveys to gather data and evidence from a variety of marine environments. The survey purposes vary and include recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ) Phase I or II verification surveys, condition assessments, surveys of features of Natura 2000 sites (Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area), Intertidal surveys, Benthic grab surveys and others. All surveys are carried out to specified standards and follow established methodologies. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

"Baseline survey of 13 caves within the Torbay area of Lyme Bay. EMU Limited (EMU) was commissioned by Natural England to undertake a survey to develop monitoring methodologies and establish a baseline for the submerged or partially submerged sea caves in the Lyme Bay and Torbay candidate Special Area of Conservation. The baseline survey aimed to provide sufficient information to allow for continual site condition assessment. The report compiled by Chris Proctor (2009), presented 202 caves for consideration, from which all those without an infralittoral or sublittoral aspect were removed, leaving a list of 82 sea caves from which a further selection was made. For condition monitoring purposes, a series of attributes were considered including; whether a cave was considered representative of a set of caves, the presence of notable species, and the presence of representative sea cave biotopes. Note that video (UW - hand held), was undertaken by one of the diving pair, and still photographs were taken by both members of each diving pair."
