Two major Regional Environmental Characterisation Surveys are
taking place this summer in the Outer Thames and Isle of
Wight/South Coast regions. These surveys have been commissioned by
Defra under the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund and involve a
large-scale geophysical survey followed by a benthic sampling
survey. The primary aim of the projects is to acquire high quality
data to describe broadscale seabed habitats and potential historic
environment assets to provide a broader regional environmental
context for marine aggregate extraction issues.
