Sea floor data were collected using echosounder and Transit Sonar. Sub-bottom seismic profiling data were collected using Airgun/Water gun, Pinger and Sparker. Gravity and Magnetometer data were recorded. These records are archived by BGS. Techical details of the survey are contained in BGS report WB/89/6R.
