The survey collected video and still imagery at 64 locations across the area which had previously been surveyed using a multibeam echosounder. The imagery consists of imagery from the seabed to determine the physical characteristics and biological communities. Each station was comprised of two 5 minute tows, with acquisition of continuous video data and still images approximately every 15 seconds. Still images were collected using a Nikon D200 with a fish-eye lens. This dataset is a summary dataset showing the centre point for all stations. GPS data was collected by Cefas using portable GPS unit connected to ArcGIS. Images are available in *.jpg format, video data in digital movie format.
