Offshore monitoring of Annex I reef habitat present within the Isles of Scilly Special Area of Conservation (SAC) (NECR125)

This report describes results from an interdisciplinary field survey (combining new acoustic sidescan and multibeam data together with ground-truthing video and stills) to determine the presence, extent and quality of Annex 1 reef habitats (chiefly upstanding reef, boulder and flat bedrock) within the outer Isles of Scilly SAC. The information presented provides a baseline against which any future changes in condition can be detected, as well as providing a preliminary view of feature condition.
