MRV Alba na Mara: Survey 0115A update

January 14, 2015 by Marine Directorate Communications No Comments | Category Marine Directorate general, Marine Directorate Science, Research Vessel Surveys

After sailing on 5 January from Fraserburgh, Alba na Mara spent a couple days steaming before anchoring in Bloody Bay on the north side of Mull in the South Minch. The TV survey then began working up the edges of Loch Linnhe using the Drop Frame to establish the extent of the muddy sediment suitable for Nephrops habitation, with the nights spent at Oban or going to anchor at Craignure Bay, Mull depending on the weather conditions. However the survey has been severely hindered by extremely strong south westerly winds. Weather permitting the survey will continue in Loch Linnhe throughout the second week.
