  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">In 2015 Skomer Marine Nature Reserve changed designation to Skomer Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ). Skomer Marine Nature Reserve (MNR) was designated in 1990. Investigating rocky reef communities at Skomer MNR. Very little is known about the community dynamics on sublittoral habitats. The epibenthic communities are one of the most abundant and important features in the Reserve. In order to make decisions about the conservation status of these communities it is vital to have some understanding of how these communities change over time. Therefore the aim of the stereo photographic monitoring is to monitor how species and communities vary over time. Possible measurements include species richness / diversity, growth rates, longevity and competitive interactions over time.</dc:description>
