Summary

Updated habitat map resulting from an integrated analysis of the 2012 (CEND 3/12a) and 2013 (CEND 5/13) dedicated survey data for East of Haig Fras recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ). It shows the seabed at the site to be a heterogenous fine scale mosaic of sand, coarse and mixed sediments, with mud habitat in deeper areas. The two broadscale habitats ‘A5.1 Subtidal coarse sediment’ and ‘A5.4 Mixed sediments’ are presented as a complex ‘A5.1/A5.4 Subtidal coarse/mixed sediments’. They show no differentiation in their acoustic or topographical properties that would allow them to be mapped separately. The ‘A4 Circalittoral rock’ habitat is present in scattered small patches.
