2013 Natural England Verification Survey of Intertidal Sediments within the Skerris Bank and Surrounds rMCZ
GB100201
A Natural England commissoined verification survey of intertidal sediments within the Skerries Bank and Surrounds rMCZ. Phase I Biotope mapping was carried out across the rMCZ for broad scale habitats. Phase II Infaunal sampling was carried out to provide information on the benthic infaunal assemblages and particle size distribution of the study sites by means of core sampling. Sediment surface scrapes were obtained for heavy metals and organic contaminants analysis. The data was used to produce a EUNIS Level 3 boradscale habitat map of the Skerries Bank and Surrounds rMCZ.

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.
