Eastern IFCA (EIFCA) Geophysical Survey 2014_RP2014D The Well habitat mapping: (07/Jul/2014 to 08/Aug/2014)
Eastern Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (EIFCA) sidescan sonar survey to characterise the seabed of areas of The Wash, in particular to identify areas indicative of Cobble & Boulder habitat, and of Sabellaria spinulosa. The data is used to inform EIFCA's monitoring within the Wash and North Norfolk Coast Special Area of Conservation. The intention is that the surveys will be repeated at intervals. The survey took place from 7/7/2014 to 8/8/2014 on board the RV Three Counties. Sidescan sonar data were collected using an Edgetech 4200-P Sidescan sonar System. These data are archived at the BGS MEDIN Data Archive Centre (DAC) for Geology and Geophysics. Technical details of the survey are contained in EIFCA Research Report 2014.
