Figure 4.1b The Proportions of Gravel, Sand and Mud Across the Survey Area.
96.
The dominant fraction was slightly gravelly sand ((g)S), described at 20 sites and accounting for 51% of the sediment characteristics. This was followed by gravelly sand (gS), described at 12 sites, and accounting for 31% of sediment characteristics across the survey area. The dominant fraction was fairly uniformly distribute in the offshore part of the cable route, with a pocket of gravelly muddy sand (gmS) in the northern part of the cable route. The other sediment fractions occurred as a mosaic in the inshore part of the cable route.
