Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) MCZ: Offshore Brighton: Multibeam, Benthic Sampling and Video survey OBRG_cend0812: Eastern Channel (06/06/2012 to 10/06/2012)

A seabed survey for the purpose of habitat identification and mapping at the Offshore Brighton recommended Marine Conservation Zone (rMCZ) site. Ground-truth sampling by grabs and underwater cameras (video & stills images). Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter collected opportunistically on transit between stations. Broadscale habitat (BSH) and habitat FOCI (Features of Conservation Interest) recorded at time of sampling and included in cruise/survey report. More in-depth interpretation to be made in a Post-Survey Site Report, following integrated assessment of acoustics and outputs from laboratory analysis of benthic samples. These data are archived with the Marine Environmental Data and Information Network (MEDIN) Data Archive Centres (DACs) including the British Geological Survey (BGS) DAC for geology and geophysics, The Archive for Marine Species and Habitats Data (DASSH) and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office (UKHO) bathymetry DAC. The full site data package including raw is also available on request from BGS.

针对位于近海布莱顿推荐海洋保护区（rMCZ）区域的生境识别与制图，开展的海底调查。通过抓斗和水下摄像机（视频及静态图像）进行实地采样。在站点之间往返过程中，利用多波束测深和回声散射进行偶然采集。记录采样时的广泛生境（BSH）及具有保护意义的生境特征（FOCI），并将之纳入航行/调查报告。对声学数据及海底样品实验室分析结果的整合评估将在调查后站点报告中进行更深入的解读。这些数据已存档至海洋环境数据与信息网络（MEDIN）数据存档中心（DACs），包括英国地质调查局（BGS）DAC负责地质和地球物理、海洋物种与生境数据存档（DASSH）以及英国水文局（UKHO）测深DAC。如需获取完整的站点数据包，包括原始数据，可向BGS提出申请。
