GIS data for the extent of burrowed mud (Scottish marine protected area search feature) at Fladen Grounds

GIS data for the extent of burrowed mud (Scottish marine protected area search feature) from survey undertaken by Cefas and JNCC in January 2013 at the three Fladen Grounds pMPAs. This was a Scottish Marine Protected Areas (SMPA) site identification survey. The main aims were to confirm the presence of the Priority Marine Features and MPA Search Features recommended for protection within the pMPAs and to gather groundtruth data to compare benthic assemblages between, and within/outside, the sites.
