Locations of still images with habitat characterisation from Wight-Barfleur Reef SCI (CEND 03/13). ArcGIS point feature class. Locations of still images with habitat characterisation across Wight-Barfleur Reef candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC). Still imageswere collected during the following survey:
Survey of Wight-Barfleur Reef cSAC aboard RV Cefas Endeavour, cruise code CEND0313, between 18/03/2013 and 27/03/2013
Survey of Wight-Barfleur Extension rMCZ aboard RV Cefas Endeavour, cruise code CEND0312, between 27/02/2012 and 28/02/2012
In total, 2,915 still imageswere collected, 2,823 from CEND0313, and 92 from CEND0312. A drop-camera was used in both survey; the position reference point for coordinates was side gantry for both survey.Drop-camera deployments lasted a minimum of 10 minutes, with the vessel moving at ~ 0.5 knots (~0.25 ms?1) across a 50 m �bullring� centred on the sampling station. Still images were captured at regular one minute intervals and opportunistically if specific features of interest were encountered. The camera was deployed from the side gantry, with the height of the camera off the seabed being controlled by a winch operator with sight of the video monitor.
