  • Data interpretation - Determine a survey plan to represent the existing expected habitats and allow for scientific repeatability and analysis for future surveys
  • Benthic survey  - Using day grab, mini-hamon, drop camera, beam trawl and intertidal corer
  • Sample processing and analysis - Typically sediment condition, flora and fauna distribution (multivariate analysis)
