During the summer of 2000 Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) investigated St Bride's Bay using a variety of survey techniques. This dataset contains the results of the analyses of biological data from grab and anchor dredge samples, and examines the community types present by comparison with those listed in the Marine Biotope Classification of Britain and Ireland.
