Abstract

A multibeam echosounder survey was undertaken in July/August 2014 as part of the Darwin Plus funded project (DPLUS026) in the British Virgin Islands. The survey was undertaken from the MV Rhone Ranger, owned by the National Parks Trust of the Virgin Islands. The survey suite consisted of the following items: Teledyne-Reson T20-P multibeam echosounder, Applanix POS MV Wavemaster Inertial Motion Unit with Fugro GPS corrections, SAIV SD-204 CTD profiler, PDS2000 and Pos-Pac data acquisition software. This dataset is a raster file in *.img format which shows an image and contains backscatter intensity values (in decibels) across the survey area.
