Monitro Rhynglanwol: Zostera noltii ym Mae Caerfyrddin yn 2004
The seagrass Zostera is a flowering plant typically found in sheltered areas with a muddy / sandy substratum. Zostera beds are of significant ecological importance in that they support a diverse community of infaunal and epibenthic species, algal and epiphytic species and provide refuge and feeding sites for fish and crustaceans (particularly juveniles). Furthermore, Zostera beds are an important food source for wildfowl (e.g. Brent geese). Zostera beds can be an important factor in coastal defence. The root networks stabilise the sediment, while the plants encourage sedimentation through sediment particle trapping and a certain degree of wave attenuation. This together with their role in supporting commercially valuable fish and crustacean species means that Zostera beds are also of economic importance. However human activity in the coastal zone (pollution, dredging boat mooring etc) can affect its distribution or even destroy the beds completely. The purpose of this data capture was to determine and map the extent, density and condition of Zostera noltii identified in previous years at Llanrhidian Sands and Penrhyn Gwyn in the Burry Inlet, record any damage or disease of the Zostera, record the presence of epiphytes and ephemeral algal species on the beds, record the presence of mussel crumble, and develop an index of damage.

Sites were chosen as broad areas where Zostera noltii had previously been recorded. At each site transect lines (100 m apart) were chosen to correspond with specific northing lines and sampling was carried out at 25 m intervals due west or due east of these transect lines. At each sample position, a GPS coordinate and photograph was taken and a 50 cm x 50 cm quadrat was used for recording percentage cover of Z. noltii, cover of Enteromorpha sp., mussel crumble (small aggregations of mussels, cockles and shell debris) and the associated faunal species (visible on the surface). A brief description of the substratum was also noted and the presence and severity of wasting disease (Labyrinthula zosterae) recorded, based on a scale produced by Burdick et al. (1993). The CCW intertidal phase 1 survey recorded the Zostera noltii in the Burry Inlet during the year 2000. IECS surveys provide a further understanding of the resource in the Burry Inlet.
