Title

Western Solway Firth benthic substrate map

Abstract

The purpose of this piece of work was to provide additional information on known areas of scar ground in the Solway Firth. It was found that the location of the scar ground had altered considerably from previous predictions. Acoustic techniques were used and grab samples collected and analysed. Additional information source: Envision (1999). Solway Firth - Marine SAC mapping subtidal sediments and scars. Unpublished report to Scottish Natural Heritage. Allen, Cutts, Elliot, Hemingway & Read (1999). Solway Firth: Intertidal Scar Grounds, Biotope mapping. Unpublished report to Scottish Natural Heritage.
