Intertidal Monitoring of the Mawddach Estuary Sediments in Pen Llyn ar Sarnau Special Area of Conservation (SAC) 2012
Pen Llyn a'r Sarnau Special Area of Conservation (SAC) is designated for five Annex 1 habitats and four subsidiary ones. Of these, Estuaries and their constituent mudflats, sandflats and reefs, large shallow inlets and bays with intertidal Zostera beds, populations of the shingle-dwelling amphipod Pectenogammarus, piddocks in clay and lower shore boulder communities and Reefs, particularly biogenic reefs of Sabellaria alveolata are the main habitats of interest within the intertidal areas of the SAC. Conservation objectives for these habitats are given in the Regulation 33 advice for the SAC (CCW 2009).

Four infaunal community sampling transects were set up in 1999 which run out into the middle of the Mawddach estuary. These transects run across the sediment flats. There are two originating from the southern shore and two from the north shore and originally the sediment beyond the lower saltmarsh was sampled at 25 m intervals, to the lower water mark. In order to meet the sampling requirements of the Water Framework Directive (as well as the Habitats Directive), additional infaunal samples were required to provide sufficient sampling of sand, muddy sand and mud habitats. For this reason, some additional sampling stations were located along transects between the existing transects. At each 25 m station, the sediments were described and photographed. Once each of the three target zones were identified, a batch of 3 x 0.01 m2 core samples and a granulometry sample were collected from the middle of the zone. These cores were sieved in the field over a 0.5 mm mesh .All survey completed by professional and experienced marine field surveyors. Data quality and confidence considered moderate to high.
