Description
Cefas and Natural England (NE) have been working collaboratively to deliver monitoring surveys within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) as part of the ongoing MPA programme. These surveys aim to support Natural England’s monitoring objectives and provide robust evidence to inform conservation measures. Two recent surveys were undertaken at designated Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs): Beachy Head East MCZ in November 2023 and Cape Bank MCZ in September 2025. Both sites are important for understanding subtidal habitats and associated species, and the surveys were designed to gather high-quality data to meet specific ecological objectives. Beachy Head East MCZ is an inshore site located along the East Sussex coast near Eastbourne, within the Eastern Channel region. Covering an area of approximately 195 km², the survey focused on: • Mapping the extent and distribution of subtidal sediment, rock, and biogenic reef habitats. • Collecting quantitative information on species composition across sedimentary and rocky biotopes. • Identifying the presence of S. spinulosa formations and, where possible, providing data to inform Reefiness assessments. • Recording any presence of non-native species. …
