NatureScot Research Report 1265 - Biological analyses of underwater video footage collected from around the Isle of Arran (Firth of Clyde) in 2015.
Abstract
This report contributes to a long series of underwater video analyses commissioned by SNH since 2009. The primary aim of these studies is to improve knowledge of the occurrence and distribution of species and habitats of recognised conservation importance through the analysis of seabed video and still photographic imagery collected during monitoring and research cruises. The current report aims to extend such knowledge for the South Arran Marine Protected Area (MPA) established in 2014, through the analysis of imagery collected during two surveys in 2015.
