Dataset covers ground-truthing information gathered on 4th June 2003 by M. Service and A. Mellor (QUB). Eleven quantitative samples, over five locations were collected, using a Day grab., with 11 Day grab samples completed over five locations, and four video tows were undertaken over four locations. Ground-truthing was limited by poor weather conditions and therefore the ground-truthing was restricted in its spatial coverage. Each of the grab samples, particle size analysis (PSA) data and species lists are provided.
