  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Report following a study of Morecambe Bays mudflats and sandflats. The study aimed to assess the condition of these intertidal areas with the aim of providing Natural England (NE) with a baseline on which to base future monitoring and surveillance.
 The report includes the distribution of biotopes within the Morecambe Bay Special Area of Conservation (SAC), species compositions and sediment characteristics. Further, the biotope information is comparred with that from previous studies and composition and distribution changes noted.</dc:description>
