Statement

Sample equipment types used included: Corer: Box. National Oceanography Centre was contracted to undertake the survey on behalf of Natural Environment Research Council. During deployment of boxcores, nodules were collected. After these nodules had been checked for fauna/biota by the biologists, they were washed to reduce salt build up, set out to dry, photographed in trays and bagged up in bulk bags by station number. They were then sealed.
