Solan Bank Annex I habitat map (translated to EUNIS)

Annex I habitat map created from data collected on the CEND 11/08 survey to Solan Bank - subsequently translated to EUNIS. Sublittoral sediments defined using acoustic and groundtruth data.

Survey Techniques: Kongsberg EM3000D multi beam echosounder; Benthos SIS 1624 towed sidescan sonar; 0.1m2 Hamon grab; Rock dredge; Camera sledge; Drop frame video camera.

See JNCC report 430, 2010 for more information.

Orthorectified aerial photography used was flown to a scale of 1:5000. Photography was flown at low tide on a spring tide between the months of April and September to ensure maximum vegetation coverage. As a result of this and due to adverse weather conditions over some of the key tidal windows the whole project area was not captured in one block, but flown in stages between 2006 and 2009. Although ground-truthing was undertaken to support and validate the habitat map, not all areas were ground-truthed.
