The megabenthic ecology of the cold water (<0°C) area of the Faroe–Shetland Channel was investigated using an off-bottom towed camera platform WASP (wide angle seabed photography). A series of 10 photographic transects, approximately evenly spaced along the channel axis, were studied. Photographic transects allowed quantitative benthic diversity data to be obtained from this understudied yet commercially...
A combination of high-resolution (30 kHz) sidescan sonar and seafloor photography has been used to image barchan dunes and sand ripples in the Faroe–Shetland Channel. The barchan dunes display body lengths and horn-to-horn widths of up to 120 m, and the horns point downcurrent to the southwest. The seafloor surrounding the dunes is variable, with gravel patches, sand with gravel streaks, and uniform...
