2012 DEFRA Verification Survey of Hythe Bay
GB001214
Hythe Bay rMCZ verification survey conducted by CEFAS and Environment Agency on behalf of DEFRA. The purpose of the study was to produce an updated habitat map to inform on the presence of Broad Scale Habitats, Habitat FOCI and estimate spatial extent within the rMCZ, as well as providing evidence of the presence of Species FOCI. The study comprised of acoustic data acquisition and interpretation followed by ground truthing. Ground truthing was conducted using a Hamon Grab.

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.
