Title

Solan Bank Annex I habitat map (translated to EUNIS)

Abstract

Annex I habitat map created from data collected on the CEND 11/08 survey to Solan Bank - subsequently translated to EUNIS. Sublittoral sediments defined using acoustic and groundtruth data. Survey Techniques: Kongsberg EM3000D multi beam echosounder; Benthos SIS 1624 towed sidescan sonar; 0.1m2 Hamon grab; Rock dredge; Camera sledge; Drop frame video camera. See JNCC report 430, 2010 for more information. Additional information source: Acoustic data collected with Kongsberg EM3000D and a Benthos SIS 1625 sidescan sonar. 44 video tows completed and particle size analysis carried out on 0.1m2 Hamon grab samples. QA procedures carried out on image analysis, including expert verification of cryptic and rarer species. QA procedures described in accompanying report.
