It involved the collection of benthic grab samples and the use of a range of sampling techniques for assessment. Samples were collected for analysis of benthic invertebrates and particle size and the echo-plus system was also employed to assess seabed type. Key conclusions highlight the technical feasibility of the survey approach, the necessity of methodological adjustments following logistical challenges, and the value of combining multiple survey techniques to comprehensively characterize seabed community structure, with further recommendations to address equipment limitations in future studies.

(2001), with each site yielding double-bucket samples for benthic, particle size, and chemical analysis. Sampling was executed with an average positioning accuracy of ±20m across both featureless and distinct seabed areas, and Emu Ltd. was tasked with analyzing selected replicates for species composition, biomass, and particle size. Plans also included trawl surveys along pre-selected transects, though initial attempts faced logistical and equipment challenges. The findings are intended to be integrated with acoustic survey results for biotope mapping.
