It aimed to characterise the habitat features of the AoS, and to identify the areas of Annex I habitat present.


Original classification system: Marine Habitat Classification for Britain and Ireland


Survey Techniques: Sidescan sonars, Towed video, grabs and acoustic ground discrimination systems (AGDS) were used to determine the biotope
