Intertidal Survey

We provide intertidal sampling of flora and fauna or sediment in intertidal areas. Analysis of benthic taxonomy (identification to species level and enumeration) is done at the Scottish Marine Institute using SAMS’ experienced staff.

We also offer in-situ measurement of sediment accretion rate. SRSL deliver in-house analysis of sediment samples/cores, to include trace metal analysis (ICP-MS and ICP-OES), nutrient analysis, particle-size analysis, core-logging, radiochemistry and the characterisation of organic compounds.
