Abstract

The survey specifically set out to examine the presence and/or absence, and extent of marine plants (seagrasses and macro-algae) growing within the proposed construction envelope (Figure 1).

Objectives of this scope of works were to:

• Determine the presence, distribution and density of seagrasses and marine macro-algae that may occur within the area of interest;

• Provide a review of existing datasets including previous seagrass and macrobenthic survey results;

• Provide a written report and GIS layers of the presence, distribution and density of seagrasses and macro-algae within the area of interest.
