MNCR Area Summaries - Lagoons in Shetland and Orkney

In 1993, the MNCR initiated a survey of lagoons in Scotland. Eighteen lagoons in MNCR Sector 1, the Shetland Islands, were surveyed in August 1993 and sixteen lagoons were surveyed in July 1994 in MNCR Sector 2, the Orkney Islands. This included field surveys of the shores and nearshore subtidal zone to describe the biotopes. Comparable data from other organisations have been added and the data analysed to classify the biotopes present. The information available for MNCR Sectors 1 & 2 is presented as 34 area summaries.

于1993年，苏格兰的MNCR启动了对湖泊的调查研究。1993年8月，对MNCR第1区——设得兰群岛的18个湖泊进行了调查，而1994年7月，在MNCR第2区——奥克尼群岛的16个湖泊也完成了调查。此次调查涵盖了海岸线和近岸潮间带，旨在描述生境类型。此外，还补充了其他组织的可比数据，并对数据进行了分析，以对现有的生境类型进行分类。MNCR第1区与第2区的可用信息以34个区域概要的形式呈现。
