2013 Natural England Verification Survey of Intertidal Sediments within the Skerris Bank and Surrounds rMCZ

A Natural England commissoined verification survey of intertidal sediments within the Skerries Bank and Surrounds rMCZ.

Phase I Biotope mapping was carried out across the rMCZ for broad scale habitats. Phase II Infaunal sampling was carried out to provide information on the benthic infaunal assemblages and particle size distribution of the study sites by means of core sampling. Sediment surface scrapes were obtained for heavy metals and organic contaminants analysis.

The data was used to produce a EUNIS Level 3 boradscale habitat map of the Skerries Bank and Surrounds rMCZ.
