A day Grab with a sampling area of 0.1 m 2 was deployed from the stern gantry of the survey vessel to recover sediment from the seabed as described in the Environment Agency Water Framework Directive (WFD) operational instructions 104_10 (2012) and 009_07 (2014). `https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/interactive/by-category/wfd`_ The EA WFD sampling methodology required two similar samples; the first was used to obtain a fauna sample (minimum depth of 5 cm in sand habitat and 7 cm in mud habitat) and the second solely to obtain a sub-sample for particle size analysis The sample was also inspected for a Redox Potential Discontinuity (RPD) or ‘black layer’, if present, the depth below the surface was recorded. The faunal sample was then processed, by washing over a sieve (1.0 mm mesh). The retained material was photographed on the sieve and preserved in a buffered 8 % formaldehyde solution for transfer ashore to a specialist laboratory for analysis. .. _`https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/interactive/by-category/wfd`: https://www.eea.europa.eu/themes/water/interactive/by-category/wfd MEDIN 3.1.1
