For SACs in Wales, the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW) is therefore required to report on a regular basis on whether features are in favourable conservation status. In the Menai Strait and Conwy Bay SAC the relevant Annex I intertidal habitat features are mudflats and sandflats not covered by seawater at low tide, and reefs. Specific areas of interest include areas of tide-swept bedrock and boulders and areas of tide-swept Fucus serratus on mixed sediment along the Menai Strait. The purpose of this in-situ survey was to locate specific tide-swept Fucus serratus zones and measure the width of the zone, percentage of Fucus serratus within the zone and information on epibionts. This in turn provided a baseline for future condition monitoring and helped establish a methodology for intertidal surveying.
