Day grab sample surface was photographed and sample depth recorded after which a sub-sample of sediment was taken from the full depth of the sample using a 3 cm diameter core. The PSA sub-sample was then stored in a labelled plastic container and frozen ready for transfer to a laboratory for analysis. The grab contents were then decanted into a large plastic bin. Benthic fauna were collected by washing the sample with sea-water over a 1 mm sieve. The retained >1 mm fraction was transferred to a labelled container and preserved in buffered 4% formaldehyde for later analysis. MEDIN 3.1.1
