Lineage

Samples were collected at 15 sites within the Runnel Stone (Formally Lands End) Marine Conservation Zone on survey 2FGL5032014 A Mini-Hamon Grab with a sampling area of 0.1 m ^... , was deployed from the stern gantry of the vessel to collect sediment from the seabed On recovery, the grab was emptied into a large plastic bin and a representative sub-sample of sediment (approx. 0.5 litres) taken for Particle Size Analysis (PSA). The sample was stored in a labelled plastic container and frozen ready for transfer to a laboratory ashore. The remaining sample was photographed and the volume of sediment measured and recorded. Benthic fauna were collected by washing the sample with sea water over a 1 mm sieve. The retained >1 mm fraction was transferred to a labelled container and preserved in 8% buffered formaldehyde for later analysis ashore.
