As future baseline and monitoring surveys will increasingly include autonomous approaches (e.g. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), camera work, AI-based data analysis), this study focused on epibenthic megafauna captured in seabed imagery. After analysing &gt;1300 seabed images collected by the ACCELERATE project, the team found indications that <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">benthic communities, on similar substrata, may be different inside and outside OWFs<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. Additional images, ideally from multiple OWFs, would help confirm these results. The data were classified into biotopes using the Marine Habitat Classification of Britian and Northern Ireland and combined with a larger biotope dataset, made possible through contributions from ACCELERATE\u2019s industry partners, who similarly used imagery to classify benthic biotopes as part of pre-construction ecological characterisation. The unified datasetis now being used as part of the ACCELERATE work, to model changes in biotope (habitat) distributions following the development of offshore windfarms under a changing climate.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The study highlights the importance of consistency in the collection and analysis of seabed imagery, and of data collected at the relevant spatial and temporal scales.\u00a0 This leads to the following <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">advice on effective and scalable assessment and monitoring of epibenthic communities to strengthen baselines and the ability to detect changes<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:1800,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Seabed imagery data from underwater cameras mounted on towed sledges, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or AUVs provide direct visual evidence of seafloor habitats, including information on substrata and resident biological communities.

This depends on imagery acquisition, analysis, annotation, and data flows, including archiving and sharing in accessible standards. Data acquisitionplatforms and camera settings are best not too dissimilar, and <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">analysis of seabed imagery will be more robust via collaboration across academia and industry<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, with stronger datasets as a result. This is also an important step towards Machine Learning algorithms trained on high-quality datasets that can significantly speed up analysis in the near future.\u00a0 These recommendations are in line with the Benthic Imagery Action Plan from The Big Picture initiative led by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:1800,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Marine benthic habitats and ecological communities in the Eastern Irish Sea are heterogeneous, where communities vary over multiple spatial scales linked to burrows over several centimetres to gradients in hydrodynamics over multiple kilometres, within or outside windfarms. The design of <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">seabed imagery acquisition surveys must therefore explicitly account for the scale of ecological variability driven by physical environmental properties and processes<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, ensuring representation of communities from different environmental niches (e.g. substratum type and depth). Benthic communities and processes also vary over temporal scales, from diurnal to seasonal, to windfarm operational lifetime and climate change. Whilst not all temporal scales can be covered in a monitoring framework, the design must be tuned to the important drivers of expected ecological change. The temporal design of seabed imagery surveys can be adaptive as systems stabilise at different rates, but we can\u2019t monitor the future seabed.
