Monitoring of the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast sands and mudflats 2003-07-01 publication NATENG000225 http://www.naturalengland.org.uk This is a study of 5 specific lifeforms provides a follow up to a survey carried out by Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Studies in 1999 (Allen et al., 1999). This 2002 survey aimed to map the position and estent of the gross life-form features: - Zostera spp. beds - Enteromorpha spp. mats - Mytilus edulis (mussel) beds - The position of the seaward boundary of the Spartina anglica zone. The dataset includes extensive GIS maps showing the distribution, abundance and denisty of the 5 target species around the focus site, and high resolution digital stills of the sample sites showing key examples of the biota in the habitats studied.

The life-form was identified when encountered on the sand/mudflats and the boundary was then walked, whilst the surveyor took photographs, made contemporaneous notes and entered waypoints in the GPS, as Monitoring of BNNC Sands and Mud Flats Aquatic Environments 02/03 features of interest were encountered. Life-form beds were recorded where the percentage cover was deemed to be greater than 5% of the relevant species. Marine Recorder survey number: MRNE013400000053
