This is the second of three Dorset Underwater Surveys (1976 -1978). This survey recorded the wildlife of the underwater areas between Ringstead and Poole Harbour entrance. Transects were undertaken at eight sites along a 50km stretch of the Dorset coast between Ringstead to Studland. Transects were sampled by shore collecting, shore diving and diving from a boat.
