Broadscale habitat (EUNIS level 3) for North West of Jones Bank recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ)

A broadscale habitat layer was produced by analysing and interpreting the acoustic and ground truth data collected by Gardline onboard the MV Tridens onboard 29th February and 31st March 2012and RV Cefas Endeavour between 11th and 12th July 2012 . PSA data were used to assign each sample a EUNIS class which then informed the expert visual interpretation process of map production.
