This brief survey was carried out by the NRA South Western Region in 1991. Three littoral sites were sampled starting from Easton Ford at the head of the inlet, to Cockleridge near the mouth of the inlet. Four 0.01 sq.m cores were taken at each site, puddled through a 0.5 mm sieve to remove excess sediment, and were then fixed in formalin. Sediment samples were also taken from the top 2 cm for granulometry.
