Samples were collected at 8 sites within the Offshore Foreland Marine Conservation Zone on survey CEND 0614 (Hammon Grab) A Mini-Hamon Grab with a sampling area of 0.1 m <sup>...</sup> , was deployed from the stern gantry of the vessel to collect sediment from the seabed. On recovery, the grab was emptied into a large plastic bin and a representative sub-sample of sediment (approx. 0.5 litres) taken for Particle Size Analysis (PSA). The sample was stored in a labelled plastic container and frozen ready for transfer to a laboratory ashore. The remaining sample was photographed and the volume of sediment measured and recorded. Benthic fauna were collected by washing the sample with sea water over a 1 mm sieve. The retained >1 mm fraction was transferred to a labelled container and preserved in 4% buffered formaldehyde for later analysis ashore.
