NatureScot Commissioned Report 754: Baseline survey and mapping of intertidal features within selected Scottish SSSIs
Site condition monitoring was required for intertidal sediment features (and one lagoon) in eight designated SSSIs on the west coast of Scotland. This project was designed to provide baseline data and guidance for future monitoring and assessment. The eight sites were: Kames Bay SSSI, Ballochmartin Bay SSSI, Bogside Flats SSSI, Cree Estuary SSSI, Ulva, Danna and the McCormaig Isles SSSI, Tong Saltings SSSI, Luskentyre Banks and Saltings SSSI, Northton Bay SSSI. A literature review of marine biological and site condition data was carried out for all sites. Marine biological surveys of intertidal sediment biotopes were carried out at seven sites (all except Kames Bay) in April / May 2012. From this work, recommendations for future monitoring and assessment are given.
