Cold-water coral habitats mapping in submarine canyons of the Bay of Biscay. EVHOE 2012 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 EVHOE 2012 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 EVHOE 2012 cruise (from 18/10/2012 to 02/12/2012, chief scientists: Jean-Pierre LEAUTE and Michèle SALAUN).
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.

- Purpose
- The aim of this work is to map cold water coral habitats in submarine canyons of the bay of Biscay to gain better knowledge on deep-sea vulnerable marine habitats, follow their evolution, and propose management measures adapted to the preservation of their integrity.

- 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 EVHOE 2012 cruise using the towed camera « SCAMPI ».
- Description
- 1/ DATAS: images acquired with the towed camera SCAMPI during the EVHOE 2012 cruise (Legs 1 and 2).
- Description
- 2/ OCEANOGRAPHIC CRUISE : the EVHOE 2009 cruise was conducted from 18/10/2012 to 2/12/2012 onboard the Thalassa research vessel, and led by the chief scientists Jean-Pierre LEAUTE and Michèle SALAUN (Ifremer).
- Description
- 3/ IMAGES PROCESSING : images were annotated by Inge van den Beld, Jaime Davies and Brigitte Guillaumont using Adelie and Cover software. Cold-water coral habitats were described from images with the level 1 of CoralFish typology, published by Davies et al., 2017 (J.S. Davies, B. Guillaumont, F. Tempera, A. Vertino, L. Beuck, S.H.

- Description
- 4/ DATA PROCESSING : habitats observations were exported to ArcGis and associated with the dives navigation. The result provided a habitat mapping (polylines) along the dive navigation, segmented by observations.
- Description
- 5/ VALORISATION : this work was developed within the framework of Inge van den Beld’s PhD (Van Den Beld Inge, 2017.
