Over the course of the project they have gathered data from a wide range of offshore surveys and studies. This wealth of information includes environmental material such as bird and mammal surveys, human activity evaluations including shipping, navigation and archaeological data, and physical environmental detail like geotechnical data and sediment sampling. They will be making this data available via The Crown Estate's Marine Data Exchange once transfer and quality assurance processes have been completed, at www.marinedataexchange.co.uk
