Mncr Area Summaries — Lagoons in Shetland and Orkney

Description

In 1993, the MNCR initiated a survey of lagoons in Scotland. Eighteen lagoons in MNCR Sector 1, the Shetland Islands, were surveyed in August 1993 and sixteen lagoons were surveyed in July 1994 in MNCR Sector 2, the Orkney Islands. This included field surveys of the shores and nearshore subtidal zone to describe the biotopes. Comparable data from other organisations have been added and the data analysed to classify the biotopes present. The information available for MNCR Sectors 1 & 2 is presented as 34 area summaries.
