About

Cefas awarded a contract to LandScope Engineering for a geophysical and bathymetric survey of The Wash and its approaches.

The survey aimed to improve understanding of the extent, distribution, and nature of Sabellaria spinulosa biogenic reefs across 9 blocks with varying prioritisation.

The primary acquisition was Side Scan Sonar (SSS), with Multi Beam Echo Sounder (MBES) bathymetry acquired opportunistically in blocks 1 and 3, not resulting in 100% MBES coverage.

The evidence gathered supports identification of Annex I reef habitats within the Marine Protected Area monitoring programme funded by DEFRA.

The contract value was £104,570.
