Fifteen sites were selected at random between Whitby and the Humber Estuary. A camera was deployed and towed for between 6 and 30 minutes at each site. The video footage was saved and analysed.

Camera tows lasted 10 minutes per tow, with the sledge being towed at approximately 0.8 knots. If observed, specific features of interest (fish, shellfish, mollusks, etc.) were noted and recorded. The camera recorded high definition 1080p. Video output is available as a component (Y/Pb/Pr), utilising standard connectors or HD-SDI on hybrid 75Ω coaxial or fibre optic connectors, a composite video output is also available. Samples were not audited but were cross examined by 2 scientists. This data has been reviewed against the DASSH Quality Assessment Criteria (http://doi.org/10.17031/64ccec5c7ba72) and been categorised as high quality. 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. It can be viewed here https://docs.nbnatlas.org/sensitive-species-list/. Please note sensitive species lists can vary across the UK.
