Intertidal Monitoring of Open Coast Sediment (Sandflats and Mudflats) in Pen Llyn a'r Sarnau Special Area of Conservation (SAC) 2009
The aim of this data capture was to proceed with the Special Area of Conservation (SAC) intertidal monitoring. Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) developed a programme of intertidal monitoring work across Wales during 2004 and 2005. These surveys were managed and implemented for CCW by the Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies (IECS, University of Hull). These projects focused on a wide range of sensitive habitats such as Zostera, muddy gravels, caves, rock pools, algal dominated rocky shores, Sabellaria reefs, under-boulders, and various rare habitats and species. Aquatic Survey and Monitoring Ltd. (ASML) have been contracted by CCW to continue development and management of the intertidal monitoring programme for each marine SAC for the period 2006 to 2011, working as a team with CCW HQ and CCW Regional staff.
