This survey took place in September - November 2008 east of East Anglia. The survey was undertaken in joint collaboration between the British Geological Survey, the Centre for Ecology, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and Wessex Archaeology. The aims of the R/V CEFAS Endeavour 18/08 / BGS 2008/04 cruise were to acquire high resolution multibeam echosounder, sidescan sonar, surface tow boomer and magnetometer data in the East Coast Regional Environmental Assessment area. This phase of data acquisition will be used to position vibrocore, clamshell grab, camera and biological sampling stations which will be visited during Spring 2009. The cruise was carried out under contract for the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (MALSF). Technical details of the survey can be found in BGS Internal Report IR/08/074 and CEFAS Cruise Report CEND 18/08.
For more detailed information on the acquisition equipment and data collection techniques, operational standards, data processing methods and quality control procedures used on this survey see the Report of Survey/Cruise Report and associated documentation where available. The information available may vary depending on the age of the survey. Data are checked and loaded to the BGS Coastal and Marine data management system following BGS marine data management procedures.
