The shore is searched for a set time period and the presence of identified algae, from the WFD Reduced Species List, recorded. Rocky Shore Macroalgal Species data were updated as new monitoring data were made available. Monitoring occurred June to September with records being updated after the sampling season. Data collected by contractor to provide data required to carry out WFD classification of macroalgae on intertidal rocky shores.
