Menai Strait and Conwy Bay Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is designated for five Annex 1 habitats: Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time, Mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide, Reefs, Large shallow inlets and bays and Submerged or partially submerged sea caves. Of these mudflats, sandflats and reefs are the main habitats of interest within intertidal areas of Menai Strait and Conwy Bay SAC. Conservation objectives for these habitats are given in the Regulation 33 advice for the SAC. The overriding objective of the survey was to establish the reference condition for the Menai Strait and Conwy Bay SAC and develop monitoring stations for recording the level of natural change. This would enable the development of conservation objectives
for the appropriate management of the features of the SAC.
