  • All

The Coastal Surveillance Unit (CSU) monitoring programme is comprised of 10 databases, including those for abundance records for around 1000 coastal species. The purpose of the monitoring (funded by Shell UK Ltd.) was to detect any changes that might have occurred as a result of a Shell oil pipeline that runs from a terminal at sea off Amlwch across Anglesey to the mainland. Monitoring was carried out over 10 years from 1973 - 1983, with a resurvey in 1993.

Species abundance was measured at site transect and quadrat level for each sampling event from 10 transects, mainly from around Anglesey. Data was also derived from fixed quadrats for the fucoids as a group (and Fucus serratus and Fucus spiralis individually), for limpets (Patella species). Meteorological data (by date and met station), site information and zoning of sites on the shore were data also collected.
