Impact of dredging adjacent to Race Bank - AE0220
|
Description
R&D
Summary objective:-
To build a minipod syringes capable of sucking up seawater
containing high concentrations of sediment and to establish
a calibration facility for calibrating the sediment sensors.
Key customer purpose:-
To provide the equipment necessary to measure high suspended
sediment concentrations in the vicinty of a dredge site at
Race Bank that will help to determine the impact of dredging
on the crab fishery at that location.
|
Objective
1) The construction of 6 syringes and auxiliary test
equipment.
2) The construction of a minipod to the design specified by
MAFF DFR.
3) To interface the syringes to the minipods so that they
can be deployed as one package.
4) To establish a calibration facility for calibrating the
sediment sensors on the minipod. |
