Mud Hole rMCZ Broad Scale Habitats

A broadscale habitat layer was produced by analysing and interpreting the acoustic and ground truth data collected during a JNCC commissioned RV Corystes survey undertaken by the AFBI (Agri-Food and Biosciences) between 16/02/12 and 29/02/12. 


PSA data were used to assign each sample a EUNIS class which then informed the semi-automated process of map production using object-based image analysis (OBIA). 

Statistical modelling was combined with the OBIA image analysis to aid production of the final broadscale habitat map.

Sanday intertidal biotope map

During the summer of 2000, a comprehensive biotope mapping survey of the shores was commissioned by Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) with the objective of producing broad scale biotope maps of the intertidal habitats. These would be used to inform SNH's development of conservation objectives and the future management of the site. The survey was carried out at a Phase I level of detail (Hiscock 1996; Wyn et al. 2000) using the current national Marine Biotope Classification (Connor et al. 1997a, b.). A shoreline length of approximately 73 km and an area of 14.7 km2 were mapped during this project. The 53 biotopes recorded were combined into 33 biotope groups for presentation on the maps which included an overview of the shore biology as well as maps showing the distribution of biotopes around the island.

Broadscale survey and mapping of seabed and shore habitats and biota, Lochs Duich, Alsh and Long.

A map of the distribution and extent of marine littoral and sublittoral biotopes within Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh, on the north west coast of Scotland. Shore surveys were carried out to record the biotopes occurring within the survey area. Sublittoral acoustic surveys were carried out within the lochs, with ground validation of acoustic data by video sampling, and grab sampling of sediments for infaunal and particle size analysis. The electronic GIS shapefile only maps sublittoral biotopes. Biotopes mapped during shore surveys are not available in electronic format.

Broadscale survey and mapping of seabed biota in Loch Creran, Argyll - Biotopes

A broadscale benthic survey of Loch Creran was carried out in 1998-1999. The primary objective of the study was to map the sublittoral habitats and delimit biotopes. AGDS was used, ground-truthed by grab sampling, ROV, diver video and stills photography. GIS maps were created by an MSc student.

The substrate map produced from this project (GB000941) can be found at Topcat UUID=fcd3e70c-743e-408a-877c-4eb67d5b2bde.

Broadscale mapping of habitats in the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary, Scotland

A biotope mapping survey of the intertidal and subtidal habitats within the Firth of Tay and Eden Estuary cSAC was undertaken in the summer of 2002, by a collaborative research group from the University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh University and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Mapping of the intertidal area of the cSAC was accomplished principally through the employment of satellite imagery. This imagery was ground truthed by data from intertidal surveys. This information supplemented the existing knowledge on the distribution of marine communities and sediments within the cSAC and all this information was used to produce a series of biotope classification maps.

Broadscale mapping of sublittoral habitats in Loch Sunart, Scotland

Loch Sunart is a complex fjordic sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The loch supports some of the best Scottish and UK examples of bedrock reef habitats and associated communities. The site has been selected as a candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) on the basis of the quality of the reefs present. A biotope mapping survey of the sublittoral habitats within the loch was undertaken in July and August 2001, by a collaborative research group from the University of St Andrews, Heriot-Watt University and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH). Rapid broad scale remote acoustic mapping techniques were utilised and ground truth data were collected to enable the interpretation of the acoustically-classed seabed maps. These data supplemented the considerable body of existing knowledge on Loch Sunart marine communities and this information was depicted in a series of biotope distribution maps.

Mapping of the benthic biotopes in the proposed Sound of Arisaig Special Area of Conservation

SNH commissioned the BioMar project to map the distribution of biotopes and lifeforms in the Sound of Arisaig pSAC, and in addition, undertake further detailed studies of the maerl beds within the site. Video and grab samples were collected, and 12 sites surveyed in detail by diving to collect samples for maerl analysis and characterisation of the biotopes associated with the maerl. 23 biotopes were identified from the video samples and by the MNCR sealochs survey. A map of the predicted biotope distribution based on the acoustic characteristics of the sea bed was prepared for the survey area.

Sound of Harris - Biotopes

The Sound of Harris is a topographically complex marine area situated between North Uist and Harris in the Outer Hebrides. Very little is known of the marine biota of the area but it is likely to be largely unmodified by anthropogenic influences. An increased knowledge of the marine biotope distribution in the Sound of Harris is desirable in order to assess the potential impacts of any proposed future developments in the area. Specifically, proposals to build access causeways linking Hebridean Islands are increasingly under consideration. Such developments have the potential to radically modify environmental conditions in neighbouring marine habitats. This study utilised satellite imagery, underwater acoustic sensing techniques and biological ground surveys to develop a biotope distribution map of the area and relate this distribution to prevailing environmental conditions.

Extent of Serpulid reef and Modiolus modiolus beds in Loch Creran

The purpose of the current study was to initiate site condition monitoring of the reefs of Loch Creran. This was done to establish a baseline biological data set that would facilitate the assessment of the condition of the reef habitats in the future and to allow a judgement to be formed on the current condition of these habitats. The approach taken to achieve these objectives was to assess the extent and distribution of serpulid reefs from observations by diver along 110 transects around the loch. Detailed studies were also performed at four of the major serpulid reef sites in the loch. Here, distribution was examined with sidescan sonar, reef density by video and the community of organisms associated with the habitat by diver survey of the reefs themselves and of the surrounding sediment. The distribution and abundance of Modiolus was examined along seven relocatable transects and, at one of the major mussel beds, the size structure of the population and associated community surveyed. Subtidal rocky reefs were surveyed by diver along relocatable transects at three sites.

Loch Roag, Lewis: lifeforms map area 1

This evaluation of the RoxAnn system as a tool for mapping the distribution of kelp biotopes has been undertaken as part of the BioMar Project which is funded by the European Community through the LIFE Programme. The central aim of the present project was to evaluate of the RoxAnn system as a tool for mapping the distribution of kelp on the north west coast of the Isle of Lewis. If the RoxAnn system could map the distribution of kelp biotopes, it could prove to be a valuable tool for gathering resource data to assist management decisions - for instance assessing kelp harvesting proposals. The BioMar team carried out the field work for this study from August 27 to September 2, 1994. Five areas were studied on the NW coast of Lewis, Western Isles: four areas within East Loch Roag and the open coast from East Loch Roag to Bragar. Biological data were collected for 59 remote video samples, and the change in kelp density with depth measured at ten sites using SCUBA diving.
