Hamon Grab samples were collected at 109 sites within Folkestone Pomerania Marine Conservation Zone. during survey CEND1314 The grab system comprised a 0.1 m <sup>...</sup> mini Hamon grab fitted with a video camera, the combined gear being known as a HamCam. This allowed an image of the undisturbed seabed surface to be obtained for each grab sample. 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 8% buffered formaldehyde for later analysis ashore.
