Summary

This dataset contains video tracks, GIS maps and layers, and PDF maps on the extent of the seagrass beds in The Solent. The data was collected by the Southern IFCA and Hampshire Wildlife Trust using a drop down camera system from Fisheries Patrol Vessel Tenacity over five days during the summer. In 2012 this included the areas of Calshot, Ryde and Beaulieu where the seaward extent of the beds was determined. The raw data has been assimilated into GIS maps showing the known beds and buffer zones for each bed. The collection of the data has primarily been used to create the Southern IFCA Seagrass Strategy, a code of conduct for bottom towed gear implemented in June 2012. The surveys will continue annually.
