Wight-Barfleur Reef BSH map

This dataset is derived from the findings of a dedicated survey by JNCC in partnership with Cefas to Wight Barfleur Reef Special Area of Conservation. The dedicated multidisciplinary survey (survey code CEND 03/13) was conducted in March 2013 aboard the RV Cefas Endeavour with the principal aim of collecting information to better delineate the extent of Annex I reef (both bedrock and stony subtypes) within the area, which will be used to assist with the development of management advice in relation to the areas and features designated for conservation. The survey was successful in acquiring multibeam, sidescan and ground-truthing data of the seabed. Although full data coverage of the whole cSAC was not possible in the time available, five areas were targeted for intensive survey, with 100% acoustic data coverage of these areas.
