Title

North West Irish Sea Mounds Survey

Abstract

Collaborative survey between JNCC and AFBI to investigate potential Annex I reef areas in the North Channel Peaks. Four survey cruises completed in total to obtain multibeam coverage and biological ground truthing data. Geophysical data was worked up through an MOA between JNCC and AFBI. Biological interpretation and habitat map production created through contracted awarded to AFBI. Final report received June 2007.
