The survey aimed to conduct the survey work according to the chosen sampling design and equipment and to map the extent of reef, identifying the varying reef types and to provide data to advise the likely geographic limits of reef features. In addition the survey aimed to identify and record the nature and location of any obvious human impacts identified within or near the sites.

The survey incorporated both acoustic and ground-truthing. The seafloor was mapped using a combination of multibeam bathymetry and sidescan sonar. Real-time 3d viewing of the seafloor, derived from the multibeam, allowed potential areas of rocky reef to be identified and ground-truthing sites selected. Ground-truthing was done using a drop video camera and stills system. For each ground-truthed site the video was recorded for the whole transect length and the stills at 1 minute intervals, where possible. This footage was viewed by scientists, real-time, and a summary of habitat types and dominant fauna made. In addition, fixed fishing gear was logged using the vessels survey navigation system. The report includes the results of the acoustic survey (a seafloor map) and habitat descriptions for each station along with still images. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed.
