Littoral Survey of Bardsey and the Llyn Peninsula 1983

Bardsey Island and the adjacent coast of the Llyn Peninsula was one of seven area proposed by the Nature Conservancy Council for establishment as a statutory marine nature reserve. The purpose of data capture was to describe the range of habitats, communities and species present on littoral rock within the proposed marine nature reserve and to assess the scientific interest and conservation importance of the areas visited. This dataset contains the results of a survey carried out in 1983 to describe the range of habitats, communities and species present on littoral rock on Bardsey and the Llyn Peninsula.

25 sites were selected from the maps and charts to ensure that as wide a range of habitats as possible was surveyed in the time available. Systematic surveys were carried out on open-shore communities and records of the abundance of conspicuous species were obtained from the main subzones on the shore. These results enabled the classification of different shore types based on communities present and topographical features. Particular attention was given to the description of other habitats such as rockpools, boulders and caves. Colour transparency photographs were taken of the shores and species present.
