  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The aim of this Site Condition Monitoring (SCM) work is to improve knowledge of the current condition of the maerl and coarse sediment habitats on the eastern side of the Sound of Barra SAC, following its designation in 2013. The first of a series of SCM work consisted of quantitative drop-down video surveys as well as the collection of 72 infaunal grab samples and granulometry samples for Particle Size Analysis (PSA) in 2016. Sampling locations are randomly selected within nine depth stratified sampling boxes.</dc:description>
