Data were collected as part of the Saltmarsh Survey of Scotland (SSS), a national contract that began in 2010 and is scheduled for completion in March 2013. This survey includes the site condition monitoring of all SSSI and SAC saltmarsh sites and all saltmarsh sites recorded over 3 ha in extent (including a selection of less than 3 ha sites).
Additional information was also utilised from SNH SCM reports (SNH, 2004 onwards) for those sites where SSS surveys are yet to be reported (i.e. parts of the West Coast, and Islands).
Older sources of data which provide useful information about saltmarsh distribution include:
Saltmarsh Survey of Great Britain, Scottish Local Volumes (NCC, 1984-1989)
Sand Dune Vegetation Survey of Scotland (SNH, 1994-2000)
