Abstract

The survey of the marine environment around the Isle of Wight has been undertaken as part of the BioMar Project which is funded by the EC through the LIFE Programme. The survey from Bembridge to the Needles took place in June/July 1994. The baseline resource survey was to determine the major habitats present with their distribution.

Quality and validity

Lineage

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.
