## Description

Cefas requires a Supplier to undertake a grabbing and Drop Down Video \(DDV\) survey at the Beachy Head East Marine Conservation Zone \(MCZ\), during Summer/Autumn 2023\. The survey is required to be completed by 31st October 2023\. The work supports the ongoing monitoring objectives of Natural England at the site\. A total of 18 mini-Hamon-grab stations are planned for sampling using a standard 0\.1m2 mini-Hamon grab\. At 6 of the stations, triplicate grabs will be collected resulting in 30 grabs in total\. All station locations are adapted from previous surveys \(2012, and a recent 2023 survey\) and, if possible, will be sampled at a \+/- 10 m accuracy; if this is not possible then the reason for any deviation should be recorded\. Thirty 50m DDV camera tows will be conducted within a 100m bull ring at each station, with still images collected approximately every 10 seconds during the transect to acquire enough high-quality images for analysis\.
