Offshore seabed survey of Wight-Barfleur Reef SAC 2021

Abstract

The dedicated multidisciplinary survey (survey code CEND 03/13) was conducted in March 2013 aboard the RV Cefas Endeavour with the principal aim of collecting information to better delineate the extent of Annex I reef (both bedrock and stony subtypes) within the area, which will be used to assist with the development of management advice in relation to the areas and features designated for conservation.

In addition, further evidence was acquired to define more accurately the transitional boundaries between coarse/mixed sediments in the northern and western areas of the cSAC, and to enable a better understanding of the distribution of sedimentary and reef habitats within the palaeovalley situated in the south-eastern section of the survey area.

Please note that although this report has been through an internal process to make it as accessible as possible, some accessibility issues may still remain. If it doesn't meet your requirements, please get in touch.
