A series of cruises were carried out in the North Sea, English Channel and
Irish Sea between 1992 and 1997 by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and
Aquaculture Science to conduct monitoring studies at stations established
under the UK National Monitoring Programme (NMP). Physical measurements were
taken as well as the collection of samples for chemical and biological effects
studies. This data consists of the station locations sampled in 1997,
ancillary data recorded (e.g. salinity, temperature), and some analysis data
of sediment and water bottle samples.
