This included the Eastern Shore Archipelago EBSA, a reef and island complex to the east of Halifax Harbour. OCMD approached DFO Science Branch on the need to better characterize the area’s marine environment (particularly biota) to discover key features, with an emphasis on benthic habitats and species including eelgrass. The author was tasked with examining bottoms in the EBSA deeper than most eelgrass (≥10 m) via a drop camera survey. The objective of the drop camera survey was to collect video to classify bottom type (mud, sand, gravel, etc.), macrophytes and benthic invertebrates"--Introd., p. 1. Includes abstract in French.
