Dr Ralf Bublitz
Project Description
This project aims to accurately map the distribution of nearshore features within the Holderness Inshore MCZ, Flamborough SAC and Runswick Bay MCZ over 17,300m of transects.
This project will pilot the application of newly enhanced oil & gas inspection technology which has now been scaled down to a sufficient size for deployment by a single operator, with longterm duration battery and upgraded to provide submersible operation to 30m. The University proposes to utilise this enhanced functionality to address significant data deficiencies in 3 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) within the Yorkshire Coast.
