The surveys averaged 4 weeks in duration and were conducted annually during the month of September between 2005 and 2011, with additional surveys conducted in the spring/autumn of 2009, 2011 & 2012.

The surveys averaged 4 weeks in duration and were conducted annually during the month of September between 2005 and 2011, with additional surveys conducted in the spring/autumn of 2009, 2011 & 2012. These involved the management of all practical aspects of the survey, i.e. leading two to four man teams in sampling 400+ sites within the estuary. The role also required liaising with local landowners and conservation/government bodies with regards to land access, addressing all health and safety and logistical aspects of the survey as well as undertaking all subsequent data inputting & laboratory analysis.
