2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA2 Kommandor Jack SEA2 Survey Leg 1 - geophysical survey (North Sea)
As part of as part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA2) a geophysical survey was carried out in three different quarters of the North Sea: Norfolk Coast (Area 1), Dogger Bank (Area 2) and Fladen Ground (Area 3) from Kommandor Jack SEA2 Survey Leg 1, 2001. Multibeam, sidescan sonar and chirp seismic data were collected.
The survey was carried to identify potential offshore Special Areas of Conservation (SACs). It was necessary to acquire data on specific features identified in the EU Habitats Directive, such as sandbanks and pockmarks, some of which might subsequently be defined as SACs. The survey was carried out in two legs. Leg one included the geophysical surveys in three different quarters of the North Sea as well as the charting which was used to guide the sampling and photographic work on the second leg.
The following data are available - 25 files of processed multibeam data. Screenshots of backscatter processing are also available.
Side-scan mosaics. Images are available from 15 boxes.
Processed seismic data.

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.
