Parallel surveys of the soft substrata and sublittoral hard substrata have also been conducted. The dataset includes detailed descriptions of the flora and fauna found on the littoral hard substrate of the Menai Strait, detailed site descriptions (including geological and topographical information and notes on special interest, access and pressures) and flora and faunal lists covering all substrata in the straits. The purpose of this data capture was to provide a topographical and biological description of the Anglesey and Arfon sides of the Menai Strait, concentrating on the hard or, more particularly, stable substrata and the animals and plants which live in these habitats.
