2000 Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1. Biological analysis for samples from Charles Darwin Cruise 123 (Faroe Shetland Channel)

As part of Strategic Environmental Assessment SEA1, sediment samples were collected from the area designated as the White Zone at the request of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) as part of its sea-going research activities during summer 2000. The objective of the cruise was to provide a description of the current state of the seabed in the survey area, while providing baseline environmental data and identifying larger-scale environmental patterns and processes. The survey programme was conducted from Charles Darwin between July and September 2000, with samples for a number of chemical and biological analyses being collected. An Excel file containing detail of species abundance is available.

作为战略环境评估（SEA1）的一部分，应商务部和工业部（DTI）的请求，于2000年夏季在其海上研究活动中，从指定的白区采集了沉积物样本。此次航次的目的是描述调查区域海底的当前状态，同时提供基础环境数据，并识别大规模的环境模式和过程。调查计划于2000年7月至9月在查尔斯·达尔文号上进行，收集了用于多项化学和生物分析的样本。一份包含物种丰度详细信息的Excel文件可供使用。
