The sealochs of the Clyde Sea (MNCR Sector 12) have been studied as part of the Marine Nature Conservation Review programme. This included field surveys of the shores and nearshore subtidal zone to describe the biotopes. Comparable data from other organisations have been added to provide information on over 250 sites within the region and analysed to classify the biotopes present. The information available for MNCR Sector 12 is presented as 7 area summaries.
The published version of this dataset has sensitive species redacted according to the JNCC sensitive species policy which is to adhere to NRW and NE sensitivities.
