Lundy SAC is an inshore MPA located off the northern coast of Devon and Cornwall within the ‘Western Channel and Celtic Sea’ Charting Progress 2 (CP2) sea area. The SAC was primarily designated for the Annex I habitat ‘Reefs’, with other qualifying features including ‘Sandbanks which are slightly covered by sea water all the time’.
This monitoring report is informed by data acquired during a dedicated survey carried out at the Lundy Special Area of Conservation (SAC) during 2017, which will form part of the ongoing time series data and evidence programme for this Marine Protected Area (MPA).
