The main objective of the HABMAP survey work was to collect data that could be used to validate modelled biotope distribution outputs arising from the project, as well as to map a range of different areas in the southern Irish Sea. A combination of accoustic and ground-truthing sample techniques were employed on two cruises undertaken during the summer of 2005.
