Report on 2011 Isles of Scilly Zostera marina survey (NECR124)

The objectives of this study were to continue annual survey effort on five main Zostera marina beds, for which data have been collected since 1992. The survey covered Zostera plant densities, mean maximum plant lengths, and levels of infection. The results will enable any changes to be monitored and so inform the site managers as to any adaptations that may need to be made to the future management of the Special Area Conservation.
