This required diving fieldwork to establish a baseline of information against which the site condition could be assessed in the future and which could also be used in a comparison with extant data sets. The methods used broadly followed those outlined in the Procedural Guidelines in the Marine Monitoring Handbook (Davies et al. 2001). Fieldwork was carried out during 2003, with the data collected establishing a quantitative baseline of information for the site. Comparisons were made between these data and other data from various surveys since 1985, including quantitative data from monitoring trials carried out in 1998 and 1999.
