The benthic macrofaunal samples were collected at sampling stations located
within six experimental boxes (three treatments and three control) during a
fishing impact recovery survey within the Fladen Grounds. Data were collected
at three time points (before impact (time 0), immediately after impact (time
1) and 8 months after impact (time 2) during two research surveys on the RV
Cefas Endeavour in April 2015 and November 2015.
