2014 Seabed Annex 1 reef and reef subtypes for Pobie Bank Reef SCI
The purpose of this section of the project is to utilise the provided multibeam bathymetry and backscatter mosaic, processed sidescan sonar data layers and seabed substrate layers for integration and interpretation with other datasets to ultimately deliver seabed habitat data layers.
JNCC required Fugro EMU to map the Annex 1 Reef habitat where possible and, where sufficient data exist, Annex 1 Reef subtypes. JNCC also require that a seabed habitat map is created to as detailed a hierarchical level as possible within EUNIS, where data are sufficient to enable this.
The project report (14/J/3/02/2570/1626) details the methods used in analysing the data providedwith a specified level of confidence. The following deliverables were produced with the report:
ÔÇó Derived data layers from MBES (hillshade, slope and rugosity)
ÔÇó Seabed substrate data layer
ÔÇó Seabed habitat data layers (including Annex 1 reef and reef subtypes and EUNIS)
ÔÇó MEDIN metadata (xls/xml)
All data have been referenced to the WGS84 datum.

Statement
JNCC undertook a survey with Marine Scotland Science to Pobie Bank Reef cSAC with the aim of gathering high quality evidence to better ascertain the distribution of bedrock and stony reef for the development of management advice. Multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data and sidescan sonar data were collected, as were benthic infaunal and PSA samples and underwater stills and video imagery. Data were gathered from the FRV Scotia from 23rd August to 6th September 2013.
Data (acoustic and underwater camera tow video and stills) from two SEA surveys undertaken at Pobie Bank Reef cSAC in 2003 and 2006 were made available and utilised in the analysis. Also available is a biological data interpretation report based on these data. The report was prepared by Envision in 2009, and contains the most recent habitat map for Pobie Bank Reef cSAC.
