Hamon Grab samples were collected at 25 sites within Compass Rose Marine Conservation Zone on survey CMRS_CEND0412 A Mini-Hamon Grab with a sampling area of 0.1 m <sup>...</sup> , with a video camera attached and referred to as the HamCam, was deployed from the stern gantry of the vessel to collect sediment from the seabed On recovery, the grab was emptied into a large plastic bin and a representative sub-sample of sediment (approx. 0.5 litres) taken for Particle Size Analysis (PSA). The sample was stored in a labelled plastic container and frozen ready for transfer to a laboratory ashore. The remaining sample was photographed and the volume of sediment measured and recorded. Benthic fauna were collected by washing the sample with sea water over a 1 mm sieve. The retained >1 mm fraction was transferred to a labelled container and preserved in 4% buffered formaldehyde for later analysis ashore.
