MNCR Area Summaries - Inlets in the Bristol Channel and approaches

The habitats and communities of the marine inlets of south-west Britain have been the subject of various surveys, primarily the Harbours, Rias and Estuaries (HRE) programme commissioned by the then Nature Conservancy Council. The HRE surveys were carried out by the Field Studies Council Oil Pollution Research Unit (OPRU) between 1985 and 1989 and covered all of the major and most of the minor inlets between Portsmouth and Milford Haven. The report summarises information on fourteen marine inlets, from the River Hayle in Cornwall northwards to Milford Haven in Pembrokeshire. The data from the HRE surveys, together with data from a variety of other sources, have been analysed to classify the marine biotopes present and to describe their distribution within each inlet.

英国西南部海域入海口及其生物群落一直是众多调查研究的对象，其中以由当时的自然保护委员会委托进行的港湾、里亚德和河口（HRE）项目为主。HRE调查由野外研究委员会石油污染研究单元（OPRU）于1985年至1989年间实施，涵盖了从朴次茅斯至米尔福德 Haven 之间所有主要以及大部分次要入海口。报告总结了关于十四个海域入海口的信息，从康沃尔的Hayle河向北至彭布罗克郡的米尔福德 Haven。HRE调查的数据以及其他多种来源的数据已被分析，以分类现有的海洋生物群落并描述它们在每个入海口内的分布情况。
