Abstract
Summary Objective: To interpret acoustic datasets from the deep-sea to assist in redefining the top levels of the EUNIS habitat classification scheme. The current project will build on existing classification work and be aligned with ongoing classification work on the deep-sea. Key Customer Purpose: To contribute towards a revision of the deep-sea section of the EUNIS habitat classification scheme due in Spring 2009. This work will aid the Regional Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) Projects in the identification of MCZs by providing a coherent classification scheme for deep-sea habitats.
