With the expansion of the shipping industry, ships are spending more time at anchorages and expanding to previously little used anchorage areas. Anchorages are often sited in soft sediment areas; which are understudied, high diversity ecosystems important for ecosystem function. This research aims to document changes in sediment and seafloor ecosystems in commercial anchorage through Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) surveys, multibeam bathymetry, and grab and core sampling. |
