The survey methodology, vessel and sampling gear detailed were agreed in consultation with Cefas and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO). A dispensation from the MMO for the Provisions of Council Regulations 850/98 to catch and retain undersize fish for scientific research and 43/2009 specifically related to days at sea was obtained prior to commencement of the survey. The aim of the surveys was to establish the abundance and composition of fish and epibenthic species within the area.

Beam Trawl - 18 tows of approximately 500 metres in length within the Rampion site and six control tows in adjacent areas (at the same locations as the otter trawls) Survey Vessel - The survey vessel, the 'Lauren Anne' (Figure 4.1), is a Shoreham-based commercial trawler whose skipper has experience of fishing in the survey area Sampling gear for otter trawl - A commercial otter trawl with an 80mm mesh cod-end was used for sampling Sampling gear for Beam Trawl - Epibenthic sampling was undertaken using a 2 metre scientific beam trawl Positioning and Navigation - The vessel position was tracked at all times using a Garmin GPSMap 620 with an EGNOS differential connected to an external Garmin GA30 antenna. The trawl start times and positions were recorded when the winch stopped paying out the gear, similarly the trawl end times and positions were taken when hauling of the gear commenced. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/2578/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
