The recent, widespread uptake of multi-beam sonar technology within the offshore survey industry has meant that swath bathymetry is becoming economic even within the nearshore zone.
As a result the Defra-funded National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes, through collaboration with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency’s Civil Hydrography Programme, has been able to upgrade their single-beam bathymetric surveys to achieve 100% seafloor coverage to IHO Order 1A standard.
Our speaker, Andrew Colenutt, Coastal Projects Officer, will outline the considerable benefits of the high resolution bathymetry combined with co-recorded acoustic backscatter information, which can be used to produce detailed maps to inform the management of the coastal zone and marine resources and to produce indicative marine habitat mapping.
