This survey follows baseline sampling at the same time of year in 2006. The survey consisted of a walk over biotope survey of the cable route corridor supported by sediment core samples from selected positions.

The design of the biotope survey was identical to that of the July 2006 baseline (CMACS 2006b) to allow comparison between years. The survey area was overlain with a 100m grid and a mapping point established at each point where eastings and northings crossed.A hand-held GPS was used to navigate a route down the shore visiting each of the mapping points. Notes were taken of the habitat and any obvious fauna (e.g. worm casts or tubes) at each of the mapping points and the biotope subsequently identified with the latest (version 04.04) biotope manual. Hand searching for infauna with a trowel and sieve was employed to aid biotope classification. Intertidal biotope survey was carried out on 2nd August 2007. Sediment core samples were taken on three shore-perpendicular transects across the cable routes on the lower, mid and upper shore. At each site three cores were taken to a depth of 15cm to provide quantitative data on intertidal invertebrate communities. One additional core sample was obtained at each site for sediment particle size analysis. The cores were taken to provide information on the abundance of infaunal species and the available prey for shore birds. In addition, invertebrate and particle size data from the cable route cores was used to confirm biotope identification.
