Gardline Geosurvey Limited was contracted by Cefas to survey for the recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ), Lot 6, North West Jones Bank. Survey work was conducted in March 2012. The object was to identify any hazards or obstructions on the seabed to within International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) Order 1 specification and to acquire both multi-beam echo sounder (MBES) bathymetric and backscatter data. Environmental sediment samples and camera data were acquired to provide ground truthing of the broadscale habitat features expected within the survey area and to investigate any potential features of conservation interest (FOCI) that may be present. The data acquisition programme for Lot 6 - South West Jones Bank was carried out on MV Tridens1, which sailed from and demobilised in Lowestoft upon completion of survey operations. In order to meet the objective of the survey 825 Line km of MBES data were acquired. Following processing of the data, infill lines were acquired as required to ensure that the IHO Order 1 requirements were met. It is the opinion of Gardline that the data fully cover the survey area to the IHO Order 1 standard in terms of both data accuracy and data density, both of which were confirmed during offshore data processing. There was some breakup of the backscatter data due to the marginal weather that the survey was conducted in at times, but it was agreed that the data were fit for purpose and met the requirements of CEFAS and so acquisition continued.

Sediment and infaunal community survey of a feature known as 'Swallows Hole', within the Swallow Sand MCZ. MBES (bathymetry and backscatter) data were collected during transits between target stations ensuring coverage across the 'Swallows Hole' area.

This marine geophysical survey took place in October 1986 in the area of East Anglia/Flemish Bight on board the MV Bon Entente. The purpose was to study the type and location of sediments, and their their geological history. The survey used a Atlas Deso 20 echo sounder, an EG&G Model 240 sub-tow boomer, and a EG&G 260 side-scan sonar. Technical details of the survey are contained in BGS Report WB86/53C. Study area report WB/88/9C.

Refer to BGS report WB/88/47C. (Commercial in Confidence). Study area report WB/89/41C.

A seabed survey for the purpose of habitat identification and mapping at the Offshore Brighton recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ) site. Ground-truth sampling by grabs and underwater cameras (video & stills images). Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter collected opportunistically on transit between stations. Broadscale habitat (BSH) and habitat FOCI (Features of Conservation Interest) recorded at time of sampling and included in cruise/survey report. More in-depth interpretation to be made in a Post-Survey Site Report, following integrated assessment of acoustics and outputs from laboratory analysis of benthic samples.
