Habitat point records from 1991 NRA Gannel Estuary littoral survey

This brief survey was carried out by the NRA South Western Region in 1991. Five littoral sites were sampled starting from Frenance at the head of the inlet, to Crantock Beach at the mouth of the inlet. Four 0.01 sq.m cores were taken at each site, puddled through a 0.5 mm sieve to remove excess sediment, and were then fixed in formalin. Sediment samples were also taken from the top 2 cm for granulometry.
