2014 Seabed Annex 1 reef and reef subtypes for Pobie Bank Reef SCI
Description
The purpose of this section of the project is to utilise the provided multibeam bathymetry and backscatter mosaic, processed sidescan sonar data layers and seabed substrate layers for integration and interpretation with other datasets to ultimately deliver seabed habitat data layers.
JNCC required Fugro EMU to map the Annex 1 Reef habitat where possible and, where sufficient data exist, Annex 1 Reef subtypes. JNCC also require that a seabed habitat map is created to as detailed a hierarchical level as possible within EUNIS, where data are sufficient to enable this.
The project report (14/J/3/02/2570/1626) details the methods used in analysing the data providedwith a specified level of confidence. The following deliverables were produced with the report:
ÔÇó Derived data layers from MBES (hillshade, slope and rugosity)
ÔÇó Seabed substrate data layer
ÔÇó Seabed habitat data layers (including Annex 1 reef and reef subtypes and EUNIS)
ÔÇó MEDIN metadata (xls/xml)
All data have been referenced to the WGS84 datum.
