2009 University of Plymouth Wave Hub, Cornwall towed underwater video baseline benthic survey Citation University of Plymouth (2021): 2009 University of Plymouth Wave Hub, Cornwall towed underwater video baseline benthic survey. v1.2. Marine Biological Association. Dataset/Samplingevent https://doi.org/10.17031/1hrx-0s07 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description This data set comprises of marine epibenthos (74 identified taxa derived from Algae, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Nemertea, Porifera) data quantified in June 2009 at The Wave Hub development zone, a Marine Renewable Energy Installation (MREI) in Hayle, Cornwall, South West UK. The Wave Hub development zone is compartmentalised into four areas, five sites were surveyed in each area using a high definition towed underwater video system. At each site a 200 x 0.5 metre transect of the seabed was undertaken. The survey was carried out as a baseline to characterise the seabed fauna present, prior to any subsea infrastructure being deployed at the test site. The design was also replicated to the east and west of the Wave Hub site to provide controls for future impact assessment.
