Geophysical, Multibeam, Sampling, Photo and Video Survey 2008/7_JNCC: Seabed habitat investigations: Dogger Bank (01/Apr/2008 to 19/Apr/2008)
|
| abstract |
The JNCC marine survey was undertaken by CEFAS in April 2008 in the Dogger Bank area North Sea onboard the Cefas Endeavour. This work was in support of JNCC’s requirement to recommend sites for designation as Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) to UK Government, under the EC Habitats Directive. The aim was further developing methodologies for identifying and
defining the extent of Annex I shallow sandbank habitat and to conduct new
habitat mapping surveys to further develop and integrate geomorphological
and biological survey methods and strategies to provide interpreted
information in GIS for use in site designation and management of activities in
the Dogger bank area. Multibeam bathymetry data were collected using a Kongsberg EM3000D and sidescan sonar data were collected using a Benthos SIS 1624. Groundtruthing techniques including video tows, Hamon grab sampling and beam trawling. The geology and geophysics component of the data are archived at the British Geological Survey (BGS) MEDIN Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Biological and bathymetry data are archived at DASSH and UKHO respectively. For more information see http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-4733, JNCC Report 429, available at http://jncc.defra.gov.uk/page-5076. Technical details of the survey are contained in CEFAS Cruise Report CEND 07/08.
