Description

"This map is the result of surveys commissioned by Natural England were undertaken by Ecospan Enivronmental Ltd during the spring low tides in September and October 2013 and March 2014. These surveys were designed to provide additional data and a partial baseline data set on the extent and presence of certain features within the Axe estuary rMCZ. A total of five sediment habitat types were identified and mapped during the course of the surveys; three littoral mud, one littoral sand and muddy sand, and one mixed sediment. The majority of the sediment area was composed of mud habitat types dominated by the polychaete Hediste diversicolor but containing a variety of other species depending on the position within the estuary."
