2000 Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) Loch Moidart macrobenthic intertidal survey

An intertidal macrobenthic survey of the soft sediments of Loch Moidart was carried out on 14th and 15th June 2000 to acquire data on faunal assemblages present. The objective of the work was to add data to the Marine Nature Conservation Review (MNCR) database for a location sampled only once previously and to inform further development of the classification of intertidal sediments in the UK. Standard MNCR methodology was used. Six sites each with three stations, strategically located to cover the full tidal range and conspicuous differences in habitat character. Both macrobenthos and granulometry were sampled for subsequent laboratory analysis. A photographic record of each station was also made during the survey phase.

于2000年6月14日至15日，对莫伊尔特湖的软质沉积物进行了潮间带大型底栖生物调查，旨在收集现有生物群落的资料。此次研究的目的是为仅被采样一次的地点补充至海洋自然保护审查（MNCR）数据库，并为英国潮间带沉积物分类的进一步发展提供信息。研究采用了标准的MNCR方法。在六个地点，每个地点设有三个站点，这些站点被精心选址以覆盖整个潮汐范围和显著的生境特征差异。对大型底栖生物和颗粒度进行了采样，以供后续的实验室分析。在调查阶段，还对每个站点的现场情况进行了摄影记录。
