2012 Cefas/EA MCZ Subtidal Verification Survey - Dover to Folkestone

The Dover to Folkestone rMCZ lies to the west of the Dover Harbour wall, encompassing a narrow stretch of intertidal and subtidal coastline habitat and was proposed by the Balanced Seas project. The Site Assessment Document states that the site covers an area of 20.13 km2 and comprises mostly chalk reefs that grade seawards into coarse sediments. It is also stated that the site contains intertidal and subtidal Blue Mussel beds in addition to Rossworm (Sabellaria spinulosa) reefs.



The overall survey aim was to verify the presence of the subtidal features proposed for designation within the Dover to Folkestone rMCZ.

Statement

This is an internal collated evidence base that is used for Marine Protected Area (MPA) designation, monitoring and condition reporting. Point data is added cumulatively to the evidence base; polygonal data is 'stacked' using the MESH confidence score to ensure that only one polygonal record is present at any single location and that this record has the highest confidence score. This geoprocessing means that full raw datasets may not be included in the evidence base, and records that are included may be subject to clipping to facilitate other records from another raw dataset of a higher confidence score.
