  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Survey to assess the impacts of three bait collection methods on Welsh MPAs - bait digging (Sites : Angle Bay, Four Mile Bridge, Penmon - Beaumaris), boulder turning (Penmon-Beaumaris, West of Great Orme), crab shelters (Deganwy, Bangor Pier). Samples taken from control and impact sites. Infaunal cores, sediment cores, benthic megafauna (i.e. razor clam, cockle) quadrat, worm cast count, seagrass coverage, boulder epifauna, boulder turning classification.

Habitat and Species data recorded as part of the assessments are stored in three individual Marine Recorder Online Surveys (bait digging survey, crab shelter survey, boulder turning survey) , each one is decribed in their own individual metadata record (NRW_DS161356, NRW_DS161479 and NRW_DS161480).</dc:description>
