  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">The Broadscale Mapping Project has been devised and funded by a consortium consisting of the Crown Estate, the Countryside Council for Wales, English Nature, Scottish Natural Heritage and the SeaMap research group based at Newcastle University and undertaken by SeaMap. Three trial areas were selected, around Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire and South Cardigan Bay, for developing and testing the methodology, although experience from many other surveys conducted by SeaMap have also contributed to the development of the methodology. The aim of this data collection was to map the seafloor sediments and biota, for habitats and biotope mapping. This was supplemented by maps and supporting data showing the location of ground truth samples and the positions of the acoustic tracks.</dc:description>
