Research into the seabed in the North Sea

The Rich North Sea
A breakthrough from The Rich North Sea in collaboration with TU Delft. Using existing data, we have located spots with harder sediments within the offshore area Hollandse Kust Zuid and Borssele. These spots possibly refer to the presence of biogenic reefs (structure of skeletons of plant or animal species). Now we can investigate these spots directly, which increases the chance of success and is more efficient.

Dr. Timo Constantin Gaida analysed data from Multibeam and Side Scan Sonar (equipment to map the seabed) available on the RVO site. The results were discussed in an online presentation.

Special thanks to Timo Gaida for analysing all the data and writing the summary and lessons learned that will become part of the Toolbox of The Rich North Sea!
