Station lat/longs calculated by sketching on chart and use of parallel rules. Dive depths are estimated by SCUBA divers, chart depths are subsequently estimated from charts. Where two depths are given the sea level (upper) is taken as the approximate chart depth and the sea level (lower) is taken as the diver depth. Hand cores collected by divers. Combined abundance for 5 cores/stn. Cores - 5cm diameter, c. 15-20cm deep. Sieved using 0.5mm mesh. Impact assessment of Irvine Valley Sewer and Smithkline Beecham outfalls. Stations encircling discharges and along transects north, south and seaward. Coarse sands and grids, depths 10-15m. Hand cores collected by divers. Combined abundance for 5 cores/stn. Cores - 5cm diameter, c. 15-20cm deep, sieved 0.5mm mesh. This dataset was collated as part of a Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Grant to access marine life datasets in Scotland.
