Number of sites: A number of farms around the sounds

Main marine environment sampled: Coastal

Depth zone: Unknown

Sedimentary type: Primarily soft

Community association: Unknown

Sampling method: Diver observations - camera/video, drop cams, grab samples, bathymetry, invertebrate cores

Parameters collected: Sediment chemistry, community composition, mussel shell drop-off

Measured variables: Presence/absence of species, community composition, various sediment parameters

Species/community data: Benthic invertebrates, algae

Other data collection: Unknown

Will continue to collect data as and when required

Quality assurance: Yes – for sediment parameters
