Statement

Samples are identified to species level in the laboratory following standardised procedures for sampling hard subtidal habitats (NBN EN ISO 5667-1, ISO 16665:2005, ISO 19493:2007, JNCC Marine Monitoring handbook); new/non-indigenous species are cross-checked against reference species lists. Monitoring is coordinated by RBINS under national legislation and the OSPAR Coordinated Environmental Monitoring Programme, with incidental records contributed by the ILVO soft-sediment and epibenthos monitoring (dredge disposal/sand extraction impact assessment) programmes. Scrape samples on artificial hard substrates (groynes, buoys, wind turbines, measuring piles, other offshore structures), approx. 50 samples/year; incidental NIS detected in Van Veen grab (0.1m²) benthos samples. Laboratory species identification against standard taxonomic references.
