Summary

A map of the distribution and extent of marine littoral and sublittoral biotopes within Lochs Duich, Long and Alsh, on the north west coast of Scotland. Shore surveys were carried out to record the biotopes occurring within the survey area. Sublittoral acoustic surveys were carried out within the lochs, with ground validation of acoustic data by video sampling, and grab sampling of sediments for infaunal and particle size analysis. The electronic GIS shapefile only maps sublittoral biotopes. Biotopes mapped during shore surveys are not available in electronic format.
