Abstract

Survey name: 2000 Isles of Scilly Monitoring infaunal organisms on intertidal sandflats 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.

Quality and validity

Lineage

Sampling of the macro-infauna of St Martin's Flats, Isles of Scilly. Conducted on 2nd to 3rd August 2000. Three distinct biotopes identified between mean high water and ELWS through discussion with English Nature staff. Sites selected for each of three biotopes ("Ensis", "Arenicola", and "Lanice/Echinocardium"). Within each site, 10 replicate core samples, randomly distributed throughout the extent of the site, were collected. For each sample, a 0.1m2 stainless steel square corer was pushed into the sediment to a depth of 30cm. The sediment was then sieved over a 1mm mesh.
