2015 Solent Maritime SAC subtidal sandbanks mapping and condition assessment MESL

Marine Ecological Surveys Ltd (MESL) has been commissioned by Natural England to carryout a desk based study to produce marine habitat maps for the subtidal areas within the Solent Maritime SAC, using available acoustic and ground‐truth data to inform the habitat mapping exercise. The study was designed to allow for a condition assessment of the site’s qualifying features with a specific focus on the subtidal sandbanks, whilst providing data to help inform future management measures of the site.

The dataset is a marine habitat map the survey. This dataset was extracted from Natural England Evidence Base and formatted and uploaded to EMODnet by JNCC.
