Metadata: 2021 JNCC/CEFAS East of Start Point MCZ verification survey CEND0121 RV Cefas Endeavour
Abstract:
The CEND0121 survey visited different sites (both inshore and offshore) amongst which East of Start Point MCZ aboard the RV Cefas Endeavour (CEND0121) between 22nd and 23 January 2021 which was a collaborative survey between JNCC and Cefas. The survey aim for this site was to acquire the data for the first point in a Type 1 monitoring time series to enable long-term monitoring. A random sampling design was selected, with benthic grab samples taken across the entire site for infauna and Particle Size analysis. A Broadscale Habitat (BSH) map was also produced following this survey.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The CEND0121 survey visited different sites (both inshore and offshore) amongst which East of Start Point MCZ aboard the RV Cefas Endeavour (CEND0121) between 22nd and 23 January 2021 which was a collaborative survey between JNCC and Cefas.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Seabed sediment samples for particle size analysis (PSA) and benthic infauna were obtained from each station using a 0.1 m2 Hamon grab (also known as a ‘mini’ Hamon grab). A 500 ml sub-sample for PSA was taken and immediately stored at -20°C. PSA analysis was conducted in accordance with the recommended methodology of the North-East Atlantic Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control (NMBAQC) scheme (Mason, 2016). The less than 1 mm sediment fraction was analysed using laser diffraction and the greater than 1 mm fraction was dried, sieved and weighed at half intervals. The remaining sediment, the infaunal fraction, was processed onboard. The sediment was sieved using a 1 mm mesh, photographed then fixed and preserved in buffered 4% formaldehyde. The infaunal samples were later processed to extract all infauna present, each individual being identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible. Specimens of each taxa were enumerated and weighed (blotted wet weight) to the nearest 0.0001 g following the recommendations of the NMBAQC scheme (Worsfold et al. 2010). An external audit of the processing was conducted, and the infaunal data were corrected following this process. |
