Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) MCZ: Western Channel: Multibeam, Benthic Sampling and Video survey wchn_cend0312: Western Channel & Celtic Sea (20/02/2012 to 25/02/2012)
Multibeam survey to infill gap in CHP data collecting bathymetry and backscatter to International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) Order 1a standard, WGS84 latitude and longitude co-ordinates collected by Differential Global Positioning System (D-GPS), depths corrected to Chart Datum (CD), Raw and processed data delivered to Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, UK (Cefas) complete with georeferenced mosaics and GeoTiffs images. Groundtruth survey collecting sediment samples (using Hamon grab) for infaunal anaysis and PSA and video and still image samples (using combination of camera sledge and drop camera). These data are archived with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (DACs) including the British Geological Survey (BGS) DAC for geology and geophysics, The Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH) and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) bathymetry DAC. The full site data package including raw is also available on request from BGS.
