Metadata: 1997-2001 English Nature (EN) Lundy. Report of the Marine Conservation Society working parties
Abstract:
A total of 50 individual volunteer divers, all members of the Marine Conservation Society (MCS), took part in 5-day long conservation working parties within the Lundy Marine Nature Reserve annually between 1995 and 2001. Over this period of time, a total of 24 projects were undertaken, some being one-off tasks whilst others continued on a year-on-year basis. Eighteen of these projects, undertaken between 1997 and 2001, are described in this report. The projects undertaken by the groups included: - Assessing the size structure of sea fans Eunicella verrucosa - Assessing the overal condition of sea fans Eunicella verrucosa - Checking for the presence of Tritonia nilsodhneri and Amphianthus dohrnii on sea fans - Assessing the distribution of populations of the sunset cup coral Leptopsammia pruvoti off the island's east coast. - Searching for Leptopsammia pruvoti populations off the island's west coast. - Assessing the colonisation of Caryophyllia and Leptopsammia cup corals by barnacles and phoronid worms. - Re-photographing circalittoral communities at the Knoll Pins cave. - Assessing the density of delicate species in near-shore areas off the east coast. - Annual deployment and recovery of automatic data loggers on the wreck of the MV Robert. - Checking the density of scallops on muddy gravel off the east coast. - Noting the maximum depth of kelp and red algae at various sites. - Describing the seabed topography and communities to the north of Gannets' Rock. - Searches for the red band fish Cepola rubescens and the mantis shrimp Rissoides desmaresti. - Undertaking Seasearch recording of seabed habitats from various sites. - Assessing the density of daisy anemones Cereus pedunculatus off Brazen Ward - Searching for various rare warm water species (including seahorses). - Assessing the colonisation of the new jetty piles. - Assessing the extent of spread of Sargassum muticum in the vicinity of the Landing Bay. Summary reports of the work undertaken each summer at Lundy have been published in the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society.

Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | This is a summary of 24 investigations made on the Lundy MPA. Data was gathered using slightly different methods for each survey. All of the survey data was gathered using teams if volunteer divers. The volunteer divers were of mixed diving experience (though all were of at least BSAC sports diver grade or equivalent qualifications) and of mixed marine biological expertise. The trips were organised by Robert Irving, a marine environmental consultant and Secretary to the Lundy Marine Nature Reserve Advisory Group, as part-working party and part-holiday. Those with underwater cameras also had the opportunity to take photographs, some of which are featured in this report. Sites visited were mostly off the islandâ??s east coast (the sheltered side of the island), though visits were also made to the west coast if weather conditions allowed. For details on the methods used in each individual report please see: Irving, R.A. and Northen, K.O. (eds.) 2004. Report of the Marine Conservation Society Working Parties to Lundy, 1997-2001. Unpublished report to English Nature (Devon Team) Marine Recorder survey number: MRNE013400000055 If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK. |
