This part of DAERA biodiversity and MPA monitoring programme in the Northern Ireland inshore region. A drop camera was either dropped and towed or mounted in a sledge and towed to gather broad scale habitat information and groundtruth Side scan sonar data and previous seabed habitat mapping. Evidence gathered in these surveys will also support designation of pMCZ features in Strangford Lough and inform management decisions within the MPA.

Video recorded into the spyball computer and transferred to DAERA servers. Date, time and GPS overlayed in the video. Sledge towed at 0.5 knots. Still images also captured and screenshots taken from the video analysis when features of interest were observed. If any sensitive species or biotope records are present within this dataset, they will have been removed. If you wish to request access to sensitive species records, please contact the metadata contact. The UK Sensitive Species list has been agreed by UK statutory bodies and relevant experts.
