Loch of Stenness cSAC intertidal and subtidal substrate map
The Loch of Stenness is the largest saline lagoon in the UK and has been proposed as a cSAC. SeaMap were contracted to carry out a comprehensive survey and mapping exercise of the subtidal and intertidal habitats and associated biota of the loch in its entirety and that part of the Loch of Harray where this was found to have any brackish water. The survey was carried out using AGDS and direct observation using a towed video system and grab samples. Salinity was also measured.
