| Objectives and Narrative |
Objectives
1. To undertake water, sediment and biological sampling for the Clean Seas Environmental Monitoring Programme (CSEMP). 2. To collect water samples for nutrient studies as part of the Scottish Coastal Eutrophication Assessment Survey. 3. Undertake CTDF profiles, phytoplankton and water samples for chlorophyll a and nutrients in support of coastal phytoplankton monitoring programme, AE11t. 4. Sediments will be collected for phytoplankton cyst studies. 5. Collection of sea water for RGU. Narrative Scotia sailed from Aberdeen at 1600 on 7 January. Passage was made north to the Moray Firth where sediments were sampled from 15 stratified random and the 2 fixed CSEMP sites. Fishing was undertaken at 2 locations. Plaice were sampled from the offshore site and dab from the intermediate site. The WFD sites were sampled on route. Water for the Scottish Coastal Eurtophication Assessment Survey (SCEAS) was sampled at 15 minute intervals. With deteriorating weather, Scotia sheltered in Sinclair Bay from 0600 to 1200 on 9 January. Passage was then resumed north and into the Pentland Firth. Sampling at the Dounreay WFD site was not possible due to weather. Very slow passage was made until, with some abatement in the weather, Scotia returned to sample the Dounreay site and then continued west, sampling the Loch Eribol WFD site, before heading into the North Minch where the random stratified sediment sampling commenced at 0730 on 10 January. Ten random stratified sediment sampling sites were successfully completed in the north and south Minch, together with CSEMP 85, the WFD sites in the North Minch and the Inner Sound and a trawl off Gairloch before moving to the Sea of Hebrides where random stratified sediment sampling and the WFD site were successfully completed on 11 January. Scotia made passage north where a trawl was taken off Broad Bay. |
