- Statement
- Soft-sediment samples are processed following the ISO 16665:2014(E) standard for quantitative sampling and sample processing of marine soft-bottom macrofauna, in a laboratory accredited under BELAC ISO17025 (ILVO-DIER-ANIMALAB). Hard-substrate benthos is assessed through periodic Hamon grab sampling and underwater videography at selected representative stations, processed at RBINS according to in-house faunal-analysis protocols, with semi-automated image classification of the video/still material. Soft-sediment monitoring is carried out by ILVO in the framework of the environmental impact assessment of dredge disposal sites and sand extraction areas, and by Ghent University's Marine Biology Research Group in the framework of the C-Power and Belwind offshore wind farm monitoring; hard-substrate monitoring is carried out by RBINS. Van Veen grab (0.1m²) for soft-sediment macrobenthos; Hamon grab and underwater videography for hard-substrate benthos. Laboratory identification of macrofauna to species level (1mm sieve retention); tabulation of species count, abundance and richness; semi-automated image classification of underwater video/still frames for epifaunal cover.
