Review existing/emerging tech for benthic observations

Task 3.1. Reviewing existing and emerging technologies for benthic observationsLead: SYKE, Participants: AU, NIVA, AZTI, CSIC, AWI, NIMRD, IOBAS, LUKEThis task will establish an overview of techniques, both those that are used operationally, and emerging methods (M3.1). The catalogue will be guided by stakeholder needs (T1.3) and include a comprehensive list of existing and emerging technologies for benthic observations, with detailed information on which platforms, sensors, and analysis methods can be used for different applications. Review of literature, as well as webpages for commercial services, to assess the whole range of different technologies used or potentially suitable for characterising sea birds, benthic fauna and carbon- and biodiversity-rich habitats (D3.1).
