This report is the results of the analysis of underwater videos and still photographic imagery collected during research cruises at seven locations: Loch Kishorn, Loch Sunart, the northern part of the Firth of Lorn including the approaches to the Sound of Mull, off the Mull of Kintyre and off the islands of Rum, Tiree and Islay in 2012.
