Abstract

This survey has been carried out in May/June 2009 off the east coast of East Anglia on board the CEFAS Endeavour under contract for the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (MALSF) comprising the acquisition of groundtruthing data including vibrocore samples, clamshell grab samples, mini-Hamon grab samples, 2m Jennings beam trawls and various camera techniques as part of a Regional Environmental Characterisation. The sample sites were chosen based on data acquired on the BGS 2008/04 / CEND 18/08 geophysical survey which took place from the 27th September to the 30th October 2008. Further geophysical data was acquired using a multibeam echosounder and dual frequency side scan sonar. The survey was undertaken in joint collaboration between the British Geological Survey, the Centre for Ecology, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and Wessex Archaeology.
