Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) bathymetric survey HI1312 covers an 83 square kilometer area from Dungeness to Newhaven. The survey was conducted from June to August 2013 to IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard as part of the SE Coastal Monitoring Programme.
Use Cases
- Analyze bathymetric data to model seafloor topography and identify navigational hazards within the 83 sq km survey area.
- Integrate geological sample data with bathymetric readings for coastal sediment transport studies.
- Use IHO S44ed5 Order 1a standard survey data for hydrographic chart validation and coastal management planning.
Strengths
- Survey conducted to the international IHO S44ed5 Order 1a hydrographic standard.
- Covers a defined 83 square kilometer coastal area.
- Managed and held by the authoritative British Geological Survey (BGS).
Limitations
