Lineage	The survey was conducted in shallow waters at three locations: Stanley harbour, Hadassa bay and Port William. Methods of investigation were numerous: a settlement plate was deployed at each location, then 20 metres transects and 0.25 sqm quadrats were carried out to count mobile species and take pictures of them for estimating abundances. Data will be used to examine community structure and will be compared between sites and depths. Species never seen before were collected to be identified in a second part of the survey. Other specimen were collected and photograped. More details about the survey and the findings are on the report: P. Brickle, P. Brewin, J. Brown, V. Laptikhovsky, S. Cartwright, S. Brown, M.
