| Lineage | A subtidal and sublittoral diving survey was carried out by a team of experience divers of the Shallow Marine Survey Group in Berkeley Sound. The data were collected in three ways: by filling in a habitat form (Joint Nature Conservation Committe standard form for sublittoral habitats), by counting species along a 20 metre transect and by quadrats, which are put at each side of the transect. The quadrats are placed every metres so that at the end there are 20 quadrats. Photos of each quadrat were taken for a post analysis in the office using photoquad software. The dives occurred at various depths (5-10, 10-15, 15-20 metres). The data were transferred to Marine Recorder v5 and are accessed through a so called snapshot tool, which is the database described in this metadata form. The database contain information on: depth, abundance of species (JNCC form), count of species, substratum, rock and sediment features description and additional notes. The bearing of the dives was also added to the comments. |
