Marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment, Offshore Survey September–October 2024 (COR0924) Survey Report 2026

Abstract

As part of the marine Natural Capital and Ecosystem Assessment programme, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) undertook an offshore seabed survey at an area south of Seas off St Kilda Special Protection Area (SPA), Stanton Banks Special Area of Conservation (SAC) & South Rigg Marine Conservation Zone (MCZ) aboard the Marine Research Vessel Corystes from 25 September to 12 October 2024 (Survey code COR0924).

The aims of the COR0924 survey were to gather data collection which addresses significant information gaps in marine offshore habitats, and to conduct research and development sampling to test novel technologies. Additionally, the survey provided an opportunity to trial options for marine mammal data collection on a platform primarily mobilised for benthic survey activity.
