South West Strategic Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme EMSW05 - Isles of Scilly

This report was commissioned by Teignbridge District Council, on behalf of the South-west Regional Coastal Monitoring Programme. Through conducting a range of surveys including aerial, bathymetric, wave and tidal surveys, and ecological mapping, the programme aims to promote and implement a repeatable, standard, and cost-effective method of monitoring the coastal environment.

The overall objectives of the programme are to provide data that meet the operational monitoring requirements of shoreline management plans, coastal strategies and individual schemes, between the limits of the Portland Bill, Dorset to Avonmouth, Bristol. This report focusses on the ecological mapping component of the programme. It is intended that this in turn will inform action plans and strategies for coastal management in the future.
