ANNEX I habitat for Stanton Banks SCI
Stanton Banks was designated as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) through the Offshore Marine Conservation (Natural Habitats) Regulations 2007 and has now been accepted as a Site of Community Importance (SCI). The Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) in partnership with Cefas and supported by British Geological Survey (BGS) staff conducted a field survey to investigate the presence and extent of Annex I habitat features within the Stanton Banks SCI in order to facilitate discussions on possible fisheries management options. The survey was designed to acquire
sufficient data to provide a robust characterisation of the Annex I rocky reef habitats, targeting areas of particular interest to fishers, and to contribute to the development of a robust baseline for future monitoring within the proposed SAC. In addition, the survey involved the characterisation and mapping of the sedimentary habitats surrounding the reef feature within the site boundary, in order to provide information on the wider environmental context.

Twenty video stations and 772 corresponding still images were acquired across Stanton Banks SCI during the survey (Figure 5). Underwater video footage and still photographs were collected using a PC-controlled high resolution video (PAL/NTSC o/p) and SES Sea Bug 14.7. The digital stills camera
was equipped with a flash unit mounted on a lightweight aluminium frame (Dropcam). Illumination was provided by two high intensity LED spotlights and a flash unit. The camera was fitted with a four-spot laser-scaling device to provide a reference scale in the video image. A live feed from the camera to the deck of the survey vessel enabled direct observation of the seabed during sample
acquisition. The MESH ÔÇÿRecommended operating guidelines for underwater video and photographic imaging techniquesÔÇÖ3 were followed during video sample acquisition. At each sampling site, the vesselÔÇÖs dynamic positioning (DP) system was used to set the course and speed of the tow. Photographs were taken at approximately one minute intervals and additional photographs were taken opportunistically to capture images of particular features of interest.
During August 2012, acoustic data were collected utilising a Kongsberg EM3002D dual head multibeam echosounder onboard the NLV Polestar by BGS (Figure 3). An Applanix POS MV 320 motion sensor with DGPS corrections from a Fugro SeaSTAR receiver was used to provide positional information (Cooper et al., 2012). The raw .ALL files were acquired using the Kongsberg SIS operating system. Bathymetry data were processed employing CARIS HIPS and SIPS 7.1 SP2 and backscatter mosaics were produced using QPS
Fledermaus Geocoder Toolkit (FMGT) software. For full details on the collection and processing of acoustic data see the report of survey by Cooper et al. (2012).
