Title

Isle of Man sandbank

Abstract

Opportunistic survey of the sandbank in offshore waters east of the Isle of Man as part of JNCC offshore Natura 2000 site assessment processes. Grab sampling, AGDS, side scan sonar and video data were obtained on 3 separate cruises. Data was worked up by AFBI & QUB as part of an MoA between JNCC and AFBI/DARD (NI). Additional information source: Mitchell, A., Mellor, A. and Strong, J. (2007). Broadscale seabed habitat survey of a sandbank to the East of the Isle of Man. AFBI report to JNCC.
