| Geographical area | Solent coastal areas |
| Observations | |
| Parameters | Dissolved oxygen parameters for sediments; Fauna abundance per unit area of the bed; Sediment grain size parameters; Salinity of the water column; Redox potential in sediment; Sediment water content, porosity and surface area; Zoobenthos taxonomic abundance; Geological sample density; Alkalinity, acidity and pH of the water column |

| Description | |
| Summary | Several areas have been surveyed. Cumulative dry weights of substrata were calculated and displayed. Analyses of faunal communities were undertaken and Shannon-Wiener indices were calculated. |
