Abstract/Summary
This report contains the results of a survey of the canyons in the South West Approaches area conducted during June 2007. The survey provided valuable geomorphological and biological data in an area with previously poor data and thus further enhanced our understanding of marine habitats found in UK offshore waters. During this survey, high quality multibeam bathymetry and backscatter data were successfully acquired over the study area and data from a range of habitats, including Annex I reef were collected. The data have enabled these habitats to be mapped and will allow an assessment against the interpretation of Annex I reef according to the EU Habitats directive.
