2011 Natural England North West Region European Marine Sites Condition Monitoring of Littoral Features
A Natural England commissioned intertidal survey conducted by the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (CMACS).
The aim of the survey was to provide a baseline dataset for future management and condition monitoring of the intertidal interest features in the Dee Estuary. Phase I Biotope Mapping including sediment cores for fauna and Particle Size Analysis.

- Statement
-
Data was collected to create biotope maps which would provide a baseline of the condition of the intertidal areas in Northwest England from the Dee Estuary to the Sefton Coast. Surveys were undertaken using following methodology outlined in Wyn et al (2006).
The survey was analysed and recorded in Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland Version 04.05. This was translated into EUNIS version 2007-11 by Natural England on 01/04/2011, which is the map provided to JNCC.
This map was then formatted by JNCC to meet the Data Exchange Format v4.1 required for EMODnet uploads in August 2023. Where there were multiple habitats on one row (eg. LS.LSa.MuSa.MacAre/CerPo) the rows were split and translated into their matching EUNIS 07 habitat. This map showed a similar area to GB100208, decided this shows a greater extent than 208 and therefore supersedes it.
