The resultant data are required to underpin the management of the new suite of Marine Protected Areas (MPA), to meet commitments prescribed by the Scottish MPA Monitoring Strategy, and to identify Priority Marine Features (PMFs) outside the Scottish MPAs network. The 0818A survey aims in particular to establish the current status of benthic habitats within the Sound of Barra Special Area of Conservation (SAC), adding upon survey work conducted during 0717A.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To establish the current status of benthic habitat protected features within the Sound of Barra SAC, or contingency sites, using quantitative drop-camera sampling and grab methods.<\/li>\n<li>To collect seabed samples using the day grab for sediment size classification and for infaunal analysis. Collected infaunal samples will be stored in 4% formalin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Benthic Survey:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>0818A will conduct a benthic survey of the seabed at various sites within the Sound of Barra. This survey will utilise the Alba\u2019s standard drop-camera system and umbilical winch deployed from the aft of the vessel. The camera system will be fitted with two line lasers to allow species densities to be estimated. A subset of the survey boxes shown (Fig. 1) will be surveyed during 0818A, time allowing. The camera frame will be landed at regular intervals during 10-40 min video tows to allow still photographs to be taken. Shorter five minute video tows will be collected from stations across the Sound of Barra SAC to fill remaining gaps in the seabed biotope map. Species type, density and substrate type (assessed visually) will be classified for each video transect post-survey. Grab samples will be collected using a standard day grab and will be processed on deck using a 1mm sieve prior to their storage in formalin.<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-8248 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-1024x724.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 1 Sound of Barra SAC sampling boxes 0818A\" width=\"824\" height=\"582\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-1024x724.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-768x543.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-725x512.jpg 725w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A-594x420.jpg 594w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-1-Sound-of-Barra-SAC-sampling-boxes-0818A.jpg 1708w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 824px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 824\/582;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Contingency sites:<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8249 alignright lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-724x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Figure 2 Possible Contingency survey areas 0818A\" width=\"424\" height=\"600\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-724x1024.jpg 724w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-768x1086.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-362x512.jpg 362w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A-297x420.jpg 297w, https:\/\/blogs.gov.scot\/marine-scotland\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2018\/06\/Figure-2-Possible-Contingency-survey-areas-0818A.jpg 1164w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 424px) 100vw, 424px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 424px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 424\/600;\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Alternative survey sites in the event of poor weather at Barra Sound have been identified at a variety of locations all along the Scottish west coast, and can be chosen depending on weather conditions (Fig. 2), e.g around the Sound of Mull, Wester Ross, the Inner Sound and the Sound of Jura.
