Title

Habitat point records from 1990 NRA Milton Creek (Kent) survey

Abstract

The 1990 Rivers Survey includes a quality classification of estuaries to provide a simple assessment of estuarine quality based on dissolved oxygen, aesthetic criteria, and simple biological observations. In an attempt to satisfy the requirements for the biological part of the classification, the sampling was carried out by the NRA Southern Region and samples passed on to Southampton University for infaunal and sediment analysis. Two 50mm diameter cores were taken at each site, and sieved through a 0.5mm screen. Each sample was preserved in 5-8% saline formaldehyde solution. Duplicate samples were taken for particle size and chemical analysis.
