14 Particle Size Analysis (PSA) samples collected at Beachy Head East during
survey SVGL0612.
The data were collected for the Marine Conversation Zones Project funded by
the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA).

Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) are a new form of Marine Protected Area
(MPAs) created under the Marine and Coastal Access Act 2009 which will protect
a range of nationally important habitats and species. By protecting these
species and habitats MCZs will contribute to a network of MPAs in the UK,
together with existing MPAs (European Marine Sites, and marine elements of
SSSIs and Ramsar sites) and other national designations being planned in
Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. This means the MPA network will be a
collection of areas that work together to provide more benefits than an
individual area could on its own. Natural England and JNCC will provide
detailed advice to Public Authorities on the sensitivity of MCZ habitats and
species following designation.
The sediment samples were processed by Cefas following the PSA methodology
recommended by the National Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control
(NMBAQC) Scheme (Mason, C. 2011. NMBAQC's Best Practice Guidance. Particle
Size Analysis (PSA) for Supporting Biological Analysis. National Marine
Biological AQC Coordinating Committee, 72pp, December 2011). In summary, a
subsample was removed and laser diffraction completed on <1mm fraction. The
rest of the sample was split at 1mm and the >1mm dry sieved at 0.5φ intervals.
The <1mm was dried and weighed and used to calculate proportion of <1mm:>1mm.
Sieve and laser data were merged to produce a complete Particle Size (PS)
distribution at 0.5φ intervals. The final results were quality assured,
cross-checking PS results with field descriptions and grab photographs.
