2002 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA4 Environmental Survey Kommandor Jack SEA4 Survey Leg 2 July/August 2002. Seabed sampling survey with video and photography.
As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment project for Area 4 (SEA4) an environmental survey was carried out from the R/V Kommandor Jack. The aim of the survey was to acquire information about specific aspects of the environment and its sea floor habitats of the Faroe Shetland Channel by describing the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of the area. Seabed sampling, video and still photography were carried out during the survey. A total of 79 sites were sampled for biological and chemical analyses, of which 76 sites were also sampled for geological analysis. (138 samples were collected).
A Physical/chemical sampling quality assurance report and a BGS report which includes details of geological and geotechnical analyses carried out on board ship.

Data Quality
Environment and Resource Technology (Scotland) Ltd were contracted by DTI via Geotek Ltd to assist in the retrieval and processing of physical/chemical seabed samples as part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme. The survey encompassed remote sampling of the seabed using a Megacorer, box corer, Day grab, and gravity corer, also video and still photography of the seabed was taken. The primary function of ERTSL was to retrieve and process the physical/chemical samples from sites in the survey area tend to ensure their quality and integrity throughout the survey. The ERSTL quality management system covers all aspects of its operations and is fully accredited by NQA against the provisions of BS EN 9001@1994.
