Poole Harbour SPA Seagrass Assessment 2015 (RP02919)

Envision Mapping Ltd. was contracted to undertake an underwater video survey for Natural England, with the primary goal of developing a cost effective sampling program to obtain standardised biological information for the sublittoral seagrass bed supporting habitat of Poole Harbour SPA, and enabling comparison to previous datasets where possible. The proposed survey methodology intended to improve upon previous survey design whilst providing similar quantitative data, and was structured to enable it to be easily repeated and adapted for future monitoring, should seagrass boundaries alter.
