Description:
Survey to establish the location and assess the extent, distribution and species composition of maerl bed habitats and quantify the abundance of associated epifauna communities in Falmouth Harbour, UK using a high definition towed underwater video system. Surveys were conducted in response to proposed dredging activities to deepen the shipping channel. The surveys took place in February 2012 and transects were approximately 200 x 0.5 metres. This survey/data set has been assigned the DASSH survey code 'DASSHDT00000468' and is part of the overarching project/series with DASSH series code 'DASSHSE00000058' titled '2011-2013 University of Plymouth Falmouth towed underwater video maerl and associated epifauna survey'.
