Cold-water coral habitats mapping in submarine canyons of the Bay of Biscay. BOBGEO2 cruise.
Cold-water coral habitat mapping in submarine canyons of the bay of Biscay was realized by the deep sea laboratory of Ifremer. Data came from the BOBGEO2 cruise in the framework of the CoralFish project and as part of an agreement between Ifremer and the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées.
The method was based on image analyses. Images were acquired using the towed camera « SCAMPI » during the BOBGEO2 cruise (from 18/07/2010 to 25/07/2010, chief scientist: Jean-François BOURILLET, Ifremer Brest). Observed habitats were defined according to the CoralFish typology (J.S. Davies, B. Guillaumont, F. Tempera, A. Vertino, L. Beuck, S.H. Ólafsdóttir, C.J. Smith, J.H. Fosså, I.M.J. van den Beld, A.

- Statement
- The map was realized in 2013 within the framework of the CoralFish project and as part of an agreement between Ifremer and the Agence des Aires Marines Protégées. Mapping methodology is based on the processing and interpretation of images collected during the BOBGEO2 cruise using the towed camera « SCAMPI ».
- Description
- 1/ DATAS: images acquired with the towed camera SCAMPI during the BOBGEO2 cruise.
- Description
- 2/ OCEANOGRAPHIC CRUISE : the BOBGEO2 cruise was conducted from 18/07/2010 to 25/07/2010 onboard the Suroit research vessel, and led by the chief scientist Jean-François Bourillet (Ifremer Brest).
- Description
- 3/ IMAGES PROCESSING : images were annotated by Inge van den Beld, Jaime Davies and Brigitte Guillaumont using Adelie and Cover software.
