Plymouth Sound and Estuaries Substrate Map
Summary
This dataset is a broad scale biotope map of Plymouth Sound. This map was produced as a result of a broad scale mapping survey of Plymouth Sound carried out in July 1996. A data review was also carried out in this study. Mapping was carried out using acoustic techniques, validated by dive and remote survey. Predictive maps of biotopes were prepared with GIS.

Lineage
This is a marine habitat mapping dataset, created using remote sensing data and ground truthing data. Boundaries between habitats were derived from remote sensing such as aerial photography and acoustic data collection, then ground truthed using a number of direct or indirect observations. Some extrapolation of the remote sensing may have occurred during production.
