March 2013

On Thursday 18th March, six weeks of survey work will start, focussing on collecting additional data for recommended Marine Conservation Zones (rMCZs). Time will be split into two back-to-back surveys of three weeks designed to gather more evidence for some of the MCZ recommendations made by stakeholders in 2011. Three members of JNCC staff have joined the Cefas Endeavour research vessel for the first three weeks and another two memebrs of staff for the second three weeks and will be blogging throughout the survey.

• End of the South West Deeps West Survey

  With the sun shining calm blue seas, and the English coastline on the horizon, our survey of the South West Deep West sites is almost over! 
  
  After three successful weeks at sea in which we have completed surveys at two sites, and after seeing many interesting things, we shall be docking in Lowestoft around mid afternoon today.
  
  So, to end our Last blog we have decided to post our last camera tow picture of the survey - which happened to be of a rather big monkfish!
