2013 University of Plymouth Thanet Coast (UK) Special Area of Conservation (SAC) towed underwater video condition assessment of epibenthic communities and biotopes Citation University of Plymouth (2021): 2013 University of Plymouth Thanet Coast (UK) Special Area of Conservation (SAC) towed underwater video condition assessment of epibenthic communities and biotopes. v1.1. Marine Biological Association. Dataset/Samplingevent. https://doi.org/10.17031/ghed-7t19 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description This data set comprises of marine epibenthos (approx. 57 identified taxa derived of Algae, Annelida, Arthropoda, Bryozoa, Chordata, Cnidaria, Echinodermata, Mollusca, Porifera) data collected in July 2013 from Thanet Coast (UK) Special Area of Conservation (SAC) using a high definition towed underwater video system. 12 areas were surveyed, six inside the SAC and six outside the SAC. Three replicate 200 m x 0.5 m transects were recorded in each area. The survey was commissioned by Natural England as part of a condition assessment to report the extent and condition of habitats and biotopes, and to determine the composition of the benthic species present.
