In areas of the site where less than 100% multibeam data coverage existed additional Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were collected during transits between ground-truthing stations. On completion of the ground-truthing survey two additional blocks of Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were surveyed.

Comprising acoustic corridors overlying a 5 km triangular grid of ground-truth sampling stations. Three nested full coverage areas in the west, centre and east of the site. Acoustic survey by multibeam (bathymetry and backscatter) and sidescan sonar (part coverage only). Ground-truth sampling by grabs and underwater cameras (video & stills images). 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. Central, full coverage area targeted to provide data sets against which the capabilities of AutoSub (an AUV owned by National Oceanogrephic Centre (NOC), Southampton, UK) could be tested.
