2015 APEM Cumbria Coast MCZ Littoral Rock Baseline Surveys

The main aim of this current study was to acquire 100% intertidal biotope coverage for the rocky shore habitats of the Cumbria Coast MCZ to provide comparison against previous data acquired and enable a preliminary condition assessment. The objectives of the project were:

  • To map the extent, distribution and composition of biotopes within the features to High Energy Intertidal Rock BSH and Intertidal Under boulder Communities HOCI
  • To map the presence, extent and species composition of representative biotopes:
    • LR.MLR.BF.Fser.Bo - Fucus serratus and underboulder fauna on exposed tomoderately exposed lower eulittoral boulders
    • IR.MIR.KR.Ldig.Bo - Laminaria digitata and underboulder fauna on sublittoralfringe boulders
  • To report any anthropogenic influences impacting on identified features

The survey was conducted from the 27th September 2015 to the 1st October 2015.
