Welsh Modiolus modiolus beds 2013: 2010 and 2011 North Llyn Additional Modiolus side scan survey

Biogenic horse mussel (Modiolus Modiolus) reef is an important feature of the Pen Llyn a'r Sarnau SAC.

The reef has high biodiversity and is vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, such as benthic fishing. The mussel reef forms an undulating surface that is significantly different to the surrounding seabed and therefore acoustic monitoring methods can be used to monitor changes in extent and identity areas of potential damage. Work is carried out on the north Llyn horse mussel reef in Pen Llyn a'r Sarnau jointly by CCW and University of Wales Bangor.

Project is carried out in conjunction with the Across Wales drop-down video project.
