2006 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA7 Survey, August 2006. Biological, physical and chemical sampling survey report (Faroe Shetland Channel)
As part of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Strategic Environmental Assessment project for Area 7 (SEA7) and environmental survey was carried out from the RV Pelagia in the Faroe Shetland Channel. The aim of the survey was to acquire seabed samples for biological, physical and chemical analysis together with video and digital stills photography to ground truth the geophysical data and enable a general characterisation of seafloor habitats and community types present within the SEA7 area. This report provides a log of the field sampling work.

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) data portal
- The Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) data portal provides free access to available data and reports which have been produced through the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change SEA process. The site is run and managed by BGS on behalf of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). Many files can be downloaded directly from this website. Those that are too large to download can be ordered via the website for postal delivery from BGS.

Data Quality
Environment and Resource Technology (Scotland) Ltd were contracted by DTI via Geotek Lts to assist in retrieval and processing of the environmental samples as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. Megacorer, gravity corer, box corer, van Veen grab were available for sampling. Almost all samples were collected for biological and physio-chemical analysis were taken using the box core. All biological samples were sieved using a 0.5 mm sieve.
