Loch Roag, Lewis: lifeforms map area 4

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.

Mapping the distribution of benthic biotopes in Loch Torridon: substrate close to shore - Part 1

This brief report presents the analysis completed to date. Little biological data exists for the majority of the deeper water of the Loch and for this reason the initial classification has been confined to habitat type.

This dataset has been split into two parts. This is Part 1. Part 2 can be found at https://data.gov.uk/dataset/2dc0f42e-fd06-4ae5-93da-2c2b7f83f3d1/mapping-the-distribution-of-benthic-biotopes-in-loch-torridon-substrate-close-to-shore-part-2.

Sanday sublittoral lifeforms map (reduced lifeforms)

The kelp beds and interspersed sandy bays around Sanday were intensively surveyed using an acoustic ground discrimination system for remote survey and a towed video for ground truth sampling. The data were analysed using image classification techniques to produce a map showing the distribution of the kelp life forms and sand habitats. Phase 2 diver records were used, together with the video records, to describe the biotopes in detail. The kelp biotopes were typical of those described in the UK National Marine Biotope Classification (Connor et al. 1997). The report will inform site managers (including non-marine officers in Scottish Natural Heritage) of the biological importance of the kelp beds.

Mapping the distribution of benthic biotopes in the Summer Isles. Lifeforms

A survey of habitats with particular reference to maerl around the Summer Isles, Ross & Chromate, Scotland was undertaken by the Benthic Mapping and assessment project (BMAP), at the University of Newcastle, in collaboration with Scottish Natural Heritage. Careful integration of acoustic data with biological data forms the basis of biological resource maps.

Loch of Stenness cSAC intertidal and subtidal substrate map

The Loch of Stenness is the largest saline lagoon in the UK and has been proposed as a cSAC. SeaMap were contracted to carry out a comprehensive survey and mapping exercise of the subtidal and intertidal habitats and associated biota of the loch in its entirety and that part of the Loch of Harray where this was found to have any brackish water. The survey was carried out using AGDS and direct observation using a towed video system and grab samples. Salinity was also measured.

Haig Fras habitat map - EUNIS and Annex I Reef

The result of a multidisciplinary field survey of the Haig Fras SAC which was initiated in January and completed during March/April 2011. The current study was initiated to investigate the extent of Annex I reef habitat at Haig Fras. Cefas and JNCC collected full-coverage multibeam bathymetric and backscatter data and associated ground-truthing data. This data has been analysed to update the extent of the Annex I reef and produce a broadscale habitat map. Seven biotopes were identified from drop camera transects with the predominant biotope characterised by Devonshire cup corals, sponges and crustose communities on wave-exposed circalittoral rock. The broadscale habitat map indicates the presence of four main biotopes; high energy circalittoral rock, moderate energy circalittoral rock, deep circalittoral coarse sediment and deep circalittoral sand.

Mid-irish Sea Reef Habitat Map

The aim of this research contract was to improve understanding of the habitats and communities present in an area of the Irish Sea identified as potentially containing Annex I reef habitat according to the Habitats Directive.  Survey cruises were undertaken in November 2006 and January 2007 onboard the University Marine Biological Station, Millport (UMBSM) Research Vessel Aora, with specialists from the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), ERT (Scotland) Ltd (ERT), UMBSM and Seatronics Ltd. The sandiest sediments were found in the sandwave field in the north of the northern survey area in depths of less than 90 m.  The transition to coarser sandy sediments with an increased percentage of shell debris, pebbles and gravel followed an abrupt transition away from the sandwave field and this was reflected in both the bathymetry and backscatter data.  The area of coarse sandy sediments covered the majority of the northern survey area at 90 m.  In deeper ground more stable mixed sediments became dominant.  Sparse patches of small boulders were found at several sites.  Using the broader JNCC interpreted definition of Annex 1 reefs (Johnston et al, 2002), it was apparent that areas within the SS.SMx.OMx/SS.SMx.CMx.FluHyd mapped area could be considered Annex 1 reef habitat.

Sediment types at each ground-truthing station were used to inform a semi-automated process of map production using object-based image analysis (OBIA).

	Revisions to 2009 survey results
	The June Survey 2009 area estimates were revised in the June Survey 2010 statistical release on 16 September.
	
	The survey estimates have been revised to take account of the thresholds applied to June 2009 survey data and also as a result of a register cleaning exercise. As the areas are directly used to assess production levels, the 2009 production estimates have also been revised. Yields have not been affected so the amended production estimates are purely caused by the area revisions.
	
	The 2010 Census provided a good opportunity to ensure our statistical register of agricultural holdings is up to date and accurate. We identified a large number of holdings with whom we have not had contact for a number of years and do not appear recently on any other Defra administrative system. This suggests these holdings are inactive or in non-agricultural use and so we have removed them from the register and, as these holdings have been inactive for a number of years, adjusted the 2009 June Survey areas to reflect this. 
	
	In addition, a substantial number of responses to the 2010 Census, with whom we have not had contact for a number of years, appear to have little or no agricultural activity. Therefore, we have also removed this activity from the 2009 area.
	
	As the results before 2009 are now not on a comparable basis, only the results for 2009 and 2010 are presented in this statistical release. 
	
	
	Confidence intervals
	95% Confidence intervals have also been shown against the production and yield figures for England. These indicate the range of values that may apply to the figures. They are based on the Standard Error (SE) multiplied by 1.96 which gives a 95% confidence interval. We are 95% confident that the true value lies within this range either side of the estimate.
