Habitat point records from 1997 MNCR/SNH St Kilda sublittoral survey

This was part of a joint MNCR and SNH survey of the St Kilda cSAC. This survey concentrated on areas that would not be sampled using the ROV, such as within caves and close in shore on the vertical rock. It complements the other survey work (RoxAnn & ROV ground-truthing) to map the sublittoral habitats around the islands. All specimens collected during this survey were subsequently identified by the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh. The results of specimens identified after the survey have been incorporated into the habitat records. Abundance for all species identifed by NMS is denoted by 'P' (Present) and SP indicates a specimen has been keep. All the specimens are available via the NMS. Records currently considered sensitive have been removed from this dataset.

本次调查为MNCR与SNH联合对圣基尔达岛海岸综合自然保护区（cSAC）所进行的一次调研活动的一部分。该调查聚焦于罗控潜水器（ROV）无法采集的区域，例如洞穴内部及海岸垂直岩石附近。此次调查与其他调研工作（如 RoxAnn 与 ROV 地面验证）相辅相成，旨在绘制岛屿周围海底生境图。此次调查所收集的样本随后均由苏格兰国家博物馆（National Museum of Scotland）进行鉴定。调查后鉴定出的样本结果已整合至生境记录中。国家博物馆鉴定出的物种丰度以‘P’（存在）表示，而SP则表明样本已被保留。所有样本均可通过苏格兰国家博物馆获取。目前被认为敏感的记录已从本数据集中移除。
