Outer Thames Estuary Sandbank Study
GB200001
J/1/03/0837
Pilot survey carried out on subtidal sandbanks at the approaches to the Outer Thames Estuary, as part of a project to identify potential SACs which are not connected to the coast. The purpose of the study was to record and characterise the subtidal sandbank habitat. Data verified in house. Side scan sonar ground-truthed. All data collected, analysed and verified by experts: no conflicting data found.

This is a marine habitat mapping dataset, created using remote sensing data and groundtruthing data. Boundaries between habitats were derived from remote sensing such as aerial photography and acoustic data collection, then groundtruthed using a number of direct or indirect observations. Some extrapolation of the remote sensing may have occurred during production.
