2002 The National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOC), Poole Bay, Swanage and Kimmeridge, Dorset. Dive survey of Maerl, worm reefs, bream nests, sea fans and brittlestars

These records all relate to 'Collins, K (2003) Dorset marine habitat surveys: Maerl, worm reefs, seagrass and brittlestars. 2002 survey results.' The report includes survey work documented in previous reports by the same author. However, to avoid duplication, only the survey work undertaken since January 2002 (when the previous report was published) has been entered here. A copy of the report is held at Dorset Environmental Recods Centre.
The distribution of live maerl (Phymatolithon calcareum) was further mapped in western Poole Bay and discovered off Seacombe. During the course of these surveys, the extent of two other habitats was mapped: biogenic reefs (Sabellaria spinulosa) off Swanage and brittlestar (Ophiothrix fragilis) beds off Kimmeridge. The presence of a seagrass (Zostera marina) bed was confirmed in Poole Harbour from enhancing aerial photos. Please note, these records have also been incorporated into subsequent reports written by the same author.
The survey data entered into this database has been supplied electronically by Dr. Ken Collins.

本数据集收录了与柯林斯（K. Collins，2003年）所著《多塞特海洋生境调查：石鳃、蠕虫礁、海草和海星，2002年调查结果》相关的记录。该报告包含了作者先前报告中所记载的调查工作。然而，为了避免重复，此处仅收录了自2002年1月（前一份报告发布时间）以来进行的调查工作。报告副本存放在多塞特环境记录中心。在本次调查中，对活石鳃（Phymatolithon calcareum）的分布进行了进一步的测绘，并在索科姆比湾发现。同时，还测绘了其他两种生境的范围：位于斯旺尼奇的生物礁（Sabellaria spinulosa）和基默里奇附近的海星（Ophiothrix fragilis）床。通过增强航空照片确认了普尔港海草（Zostera marina）床的存在。请注意，这些记录亦已整合入作者后续撰写的报告中。本数据库中录入的调查数据由肯·柯林斯博士电子提供。
