Forty benthic samples were collected using a 0.1m2 Hamon grab acorss the
Cross Sands region both within and beyond the extraction area, during 1998.
Macrofauna in the samples were identified as far as possible and species
encountered are listed in this dataset.
****Samples analysed for macrofauna and sediment particle size distribution in
order to produce a regional description of the status of the seabed
environment. In addition, the data were analysed in relation to the area of
seabed impacted by dredging over the period 1993-1998. ************
