Project Methods
Zones
Shelf Escarpment:
The edge of the bank/shelf where depth increases rapidly into deep, oceanic water. This zone begins at approximately 20 to 30 meters depth, near the depth limit of features visible in aerial images. This zone extends well into depths exceeding those that can be seen on aerial photographs and is intended to capture the transition from the shelf to deep waters of the open ocean.
Typical Habitats:- sand
- linear reef
- spur and groove
