Report based on the Underwater Conservation Society Expedition 22nd - 29th August 1981. Commisioned by the NCC [Land's end - Nare Head] Dan Lear Data Archive for Seabed Species and Habitats (DASSH) 01752 633102 01752 633291 Marine Biological Association of the UK, The Laboratory, Citadel Hill Plymouth PL1 2PB dassh.enquiries@mba.ac.uk distributor dataset The principle aim of this survey was to record community and habitat information from the rocky sublittoral along the coast of Cornwall from Lands End to Nare Head (10 km northeast of Falmouth). The survey team comprised both biologically experienced and biologically naieve divers, education in marine life identification and survey techniques being a secondary aim of the expedition. Some sites in the survey area had been briefly examined during the joint UCS/NCC expedition in 1980 and descriptions of these are contained in the report of that expedition was aimed to have a spread of sites along the coast, and to examine sites with as wide a range of exposure to tidal streams and wave action as was possible. Where available, sites with depths ranging from mid-kelp forest down to 30m were chosen to include as wide a range of the sublittoral zonation as was practicable.
