Lineage

"Natural England commissioned the JNCC dive team to undertake ecological survey work during the summer of 2012 in order to obtain standardised biological information for the kelp forest habitats and communities of the Fal and Helford SAC. This was to assess the condition of the kelp forest sub-feature against previous survey data. In addition Natural England requested that findings relating to the maerl bed communities in the Helford be reported. Techniques include Phase 2 surveys at all sites studies, quadrat based studies of kelp populations and epiflora associated with the kelp forest floor."
