Metadata: 2015 JNCC/Marine Directorate Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain Sublittoral Survey 1515S RV Scotia
Abstract:
The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and Marine Scotland Science (MSS) undertook an offshore seabed survey of the Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain (NSP) Scottish Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the Research Vessel Scotia (survey code 1515S) from 24th October 2015 to 31st October 2015. The aim of the survey was to gather the initial dataset of a site monitoring time-series for the MPA. The data collected will be used to inform appropriate future monitoring at the site to enable assessment of change (e.g. in distribution, extent and/or condition of features) and to contribute information on the habitats found at the site for more general habitat-specific assessments. 120 Hamon grab (0.25m2 surface area) samples the site were successfully completed and analysed for PSA and infauna.

| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and Marine Scotland Science (MSS) undertook an offshore seabed survey of the Norwegian Boundary Sediment Plain (NSP) Scottish Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the Research Vessel Scotia (survey code 1515S) from 24th October 2015 to 31st October 2015.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | A 0.25m2 (grab surface area) Hamon Grab was used. Sampling operations, including gear deployment and recovery and preliminary sample processing, were conducted according to MESH Recommended Operating Guidelines for grab sampling and sorting and treatment of samples (Guerra & Freitas 2012), Cefas SOP 1380 Collection of samples using a Hamon Grab (Coggan 2006) and Marine Scotland Science Procedure/Risk Assessment No. EEC/ B040: Sediment sampling by Day and Van Veen grab (Robertson 2015). Benthic infauna and PSA sub-samples were collected from each valid (>5l) grab sample; samples were preliminarily processed on transit between stations according to Cefas & MSS guidance (Coggan 2006 and Robertson 2015). Processing involved: -Washing benthic infauna samples using 1mm sieves, storing samples in suitably sized and labelled sample containers, and chemically preserving and securely stowing samples. -Storing PSA sub-samples in suitably sized and labelled sample bags and securely stowing samples in a freezer. A. islandica specimens collected were visually identified in the field by survey scientists following guidance from the Scientist in Charge, who also confirmed the identification of the first specimens collected. Specimens were photographed and measured by the survey scientists before being returned to the sea. The data was run through Marine Directorate and JNCC internal data quality assurance processes. The final report is compliant with the JNCC Evidence Quality Assurance Policy. Data entered into Marine Recorder Online (MRO) and archived into DASSH.
