This dataset contains the results of the survey of 44 sublittoral survey sites around the Skomer Marine Reserve during 1983. 111 species of plant and 276 animal species were noted (27 species of algae and 27 species of animal were previously unrecorded from the area). The purpose of this data capture was to collect information necessary to provide revised descriptions of habitats and communities for the Skomer Marine Reserve (SMR) and to continue the SMR seaweed survey (first started in 1982) in order to provide information on algal communities around the reserve and to provide quantitative information on seaweed communities.

Sites were primarily chosen on the basis that they had not been covered adequately by previous surveys in the area and that they were within areas to be added to the marine reserve by proposed boundary changes. Habitat descriptions, brief notes and profile drawings were recorded on specially prepared sheets, and wave and tidal stream exposure were obtained. Plant and animal species were recorded and abundance determined, and at two sites quantitative seaweed surveys were undertaken. Where necessary samples of unidentified plants and animals were taken to the lab for further information. At some sites, photographic records of habitats, communities and species were taken using a Nkionos underwater camera with an electronic flash.
