Shag demography is closely linked to their foraging habitats and prey, yet an understanding of the interactions between this important top predator and the marine ecosystem on Fair Isle remain poorly understood.
The cetacean monitoring project aims to gather information on the species presence in and around Fair Isle DR MPA. To use baseline distribution data to inform future activity in relation to marine industry (i.e fishing and marine development).
The purpose of the Fair Isle Inshore Fish Survey is to collect data and provide trends on the distribution, relative abundance, and population structure of commercial fish species within Fair Isle inshore waters and within the Fair Isle DR MPA.
The aims of this research project are to investigate benthic species and habitats and their distributions within the Fair Isle DR MPA
