| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | SMEEF-funded seagrass survey of Sound of Harris using drop-video and dived transects to produce taxonomic abundance counts and other seagrass-related metrics carried out by Namara Projects Limited. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This subtidal seabed data was collected for SNH during a SMEEF-funded seagrass survey using using drop-video and dived transects to produce taxonomic abundance counts and other seagrass-related metrics. Seagrass-related biotopes were assigned by Namara on the basis of data gathered by the videography and species abundance and counts. Listed feature were provided in Marine Recorder Online. |
