2016 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) South Skye Sealochs benthic camera and infaunal grab survey

This survey work consisted of drop down video and infaunal grab sampling, carried out by SNH in collaboration with SEPA on board the SV Sir John Murray, throughout South Skye Sea Lochs Eishort, Slapin, Scavaig, and Soay Sound. The primary objective of this survey was to fill data gaps - improving knowledge on the distribution biotopes of recognised conservation importance. A total of 42 video stations and 10 grab stations were surveyed over two days in August 2016.
