1016S Cruise Report: Monitoring survey of Geikie Slide and the Hebridean Slope NCMPA (Revised September 2019) 2019

Abstract

The aim of the 1016S survey was to gather the initial dataset of a site monitoring time-series for the Geikie Slide and the Hebridean Slope (GSH) Nature Conservation Marine Protected Area. The survey focused on the monitoring of the designated features of the GSH, gathering evidence which can be compared to future data collected to measure the rate and direction of change of the condition of the protected features of the site over time and to inform assessment of the effectiveness of current proposed management measures over time.

Please note that observations made in this Cruise Report represent preliminary field observations. These observations have not been subject to Quality Assurance procedures.

This is a revised version, incorporating a number of minor amendments, and supersedes the previous version of JNCC Report No. 599, published in October 2016. A number of appendices have been made available as separate documents.
