About the project

Throughout 2014 and 2015 we were contracted by Cefas to undertake a series of bathymetric and geophysical surveys in the vicinity of Sizewell nuclear power station in support of EDF’s British Energy Estuarine Marine Studies (BEEMS) programme.

This involved a number of spring and summer surveys over two years to collect high resolution bathymetric data of shoaling corridors and geophysical data of a local ‘mystery’ wreck.
