  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">46 locations in and around the Exe Estuary. Species of particular scientific interest identified during survey work have also been noted and their conservation importance provisionally graded as of Regional, National or International importance. The Exe estuary is considered to be of high scientific interest for its populations of Ophelia bicornis and because it supports infaunal communities that are representative of their type in southwest Britain. This is in addition to the well recognised importance of the area for estuarine birds. Furthermore, such scientific study has been, and still is, carried out here alongside its continuing use for educational purposes. Data on species and biotope recorded and entered onto Marine Recorder. Species data and biotope data mapped as points using MapInfo.</dc:description>
