Compass Rose and Farnes East were also surveyed as part of the MB120 project. The aim of the survey was to collect additional data at a number of recommended Marine Conservation Zones (rMCZ) within the Net Gain regional project to increase confidence in the evidence for the presence and extent of the Broadscale Habitats (BSH) and Habitat Features of Conservation Importance (FOCI) included in the proposals for designation. Survey data collected at Barmade Bank were videos and stills.

Determination of sediment type, such as coarse, mixed, sand etc. was facilitated using the adapted Folk sediment trigon incorporated into a sediment category correlation table. Percentage gravel (boulders, cobbles, shells, granules, dead/live maerl), sand and mud were used to determine and assign EUNIS broad scale habitats. Where required, modelled EUNIS categories for each of the video and still locations were considered from the UKSeaMap 2010 predictive model. Therefore, for each still / video, it was possible to determine the possible BS modelled substrate and biological zone, i.e. whether the station received enough light for algal growth (infralittoral / circalittoral) or whether the station was likely to be 'wave disturbed' (circalittoral / deep circalittoral) (McBreen et al., 2011). Sediments were noted as cobble / stony reef when 10 % or more of the seabed substratum was composed of particles greater than 64 mm across whilst the extent was identified to be >25 m2 from the video footage (Irving, 2009).
