2003 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA5 RV Jean Charcot Braer Operations report (North Sea)
As part of the Department of Trade and Industry's (now Department of Energy and Climate Change) Strategic Environmental Assessment 5 (SEA5) a geophysical survey was undertaken on the survey vessel R/V Jean Charcot. The geophysical survey comprised the first phase of a scientific research project devoted to acquiring information about specific aspects of the North Sea Environment and its seafloor habitats. The geophysical survey was required to provide high resolution maps of the seafloor in SEA 5 areas of interest. Swath bathymetry, side scan sonar and shallow geophysical reflection data were acquired as part of the geophysical survey. No seabed samples were collected.

- Statement
- As part of the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change's Offshore Energy Strategic Environmental Assessment programme a geophysical survey programme was performed in SEA 5 (Strategic Environmental Assessment 5) by Fugro Survey Limited. The survey vessel R/V Jean Charcot was used for all aspects of the geophysical survey. For the purposes of this survey, Hays Ships Limited was contracted to Geotek Limited, which has an agreement with the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry). A Simrad EA501P single beam echo sounder and a Simrad EM1000 multibeam echo sounder and GeoAcoustics Model 136 tow fish were used.
