2012 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Northton Bay SSSI intertidal site condition monitoring survey

Intertidal sediment infauna and epibiota species abundance data and associated habitat descriptors from a baseline survey of the Northton Bay SSSI. The main aims of the survey were to provide sufficient information for site condition assessment and as a baseline for future site condition monitoring. Species abundance data and habitat data was collected in-situ. Six other marine sediment SSSIs were surveyed under the same contract, using similar methods.
