Navigation was by differential GPS using Trimble DSM212L DGPS receivers (accurate to <1m). Layback corrections were applied to the data during processing.
All collected data were processed and used to produce this dataset. Sidescan-sonar data were only collected in shallow waters of the survey area and together with the bathymetry data provide complete coverage of the survey area.
No additional checks for consistency were performed on this data.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
