Hiscock, K; Thomas, A; Emerson, D C; Howcroft, H

Twenty-one rocky shore sites were re-surveyed in late May 1979 following surveys of 34 sites in 1976, 43 sites in 1977, 20 sites in 1978 and a survey in February 1979 of the effects of the 'Esso Bernicia' spill. As a result of the February 1979 survey, two new sites were established in May at Scatsta Ness on adjacent heavily oiled and cleared shores of the Shetland Islands. At each site, the abundance of plant and animal species was recorded at accurately relocated stations along marked transect lines in the report.
