Underwater imagery data was collected at four survey areas within the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast SAC. The four survey areas are: • Area 1 - Boulmer • Area 2 - Dunstanburgh Castle • Area 3 - Farne Islands • Area 4 - Holy Island Requirement: Cefas requires a successful supplier to undertake the analysis of seabed imagery (still images and video) collected from the Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast SAC in 2023. • Analysis will be required to be undertaken as set out in the imagery specification provided for this work ('Berwickshire and North Northumberland Coast SAC\_Imagery\_Spec', included as part of the Bidder pack) and adhering to the NE Atlantic Marine Biological Analytical Quality Control (NMBAQC) Epibiota interpretation guidelines (Turner et al, 2016). • The online annotation software BIIGLE will be used to annotate video and still images as described in the analysis specification. • Video tows are to be segmented into areas of continuous broadscale seabed habitat type, greater than or equal to 5 m along transect distance. • A minimum of 10% of the videos and stills should be re-analysed for Quality Assurance (QA) purposes by the supplier and reported on. • Any deviation from this methodology should be approved in writing by the Cefas project officer. • The successful supplier will produce an analysis report. • Substrate and taxonomic image reference collections are required. • A start-up meeting will be held with the successful supplier within a week of the contract being awarded.
