For SACs in Wales, the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) is therefore required to report on a regular basis on whether features are in favourable conservation status. This dataset is the results of an intertidal monitoring survey carried out on the tide-swept boulder habitat in the Menai Strait in 2008. Tide-swept Fucus serratus habitats is a nationally important habitat and although the habitat extent was known, no detailed studies of the communities had been carried out. Tide-swept habitats were surveyed at two locations to provide a baseline for current condition and to allow a study for potential future impacts of mussel farming in the vicinity. All survey completed by professional and experienced marine field surveyors. Data quality and confidence considered high.

In situ recording took place at 3 sites within the most tidally exposed area of the F. serratus zone. Detailed methodologies can be found in CCW Marine Monitoring Report 85.
