Following a four-year delay due to COVID-19, the project is now underway. The first expedition focused on mapping the shallow waters surrounding Ascension Island, including an area of the island that has never been mapped or surveyed before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with the Ascension Island Government, this BGS-led project will determine the character, distribution and extent of the nearshore habitats of the Ascension Island Marine Protected Area (AI-MPA) through an integrated programme of surveys. The AI-MPA is rich in biodiversity; however, protected areas such as this are most at risk from anthropogenic development and climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<div id=\"wysiwyg-9687-block_76b4e21e159acffd35023bafc13406d6\" class=\"  \" >\n\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We&#39;ve had a fantastic couple of weeks working with Rhys and Catriona from the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BritGeoSurvey?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BritGeoSurvey<\/a> !<br \/>The duo spent 10 days mapping <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Asi?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Asi<\/a>&#39;s shallow waters on board the Moray with our team &#8211; no easy feat given Ascension&#39;s choppy waters!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/smallislandBIGVISION?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#smallislandBIGVISION<\/a><br \/>\ud83c\udfb6:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EUchP4ZcyO\">https:\/\/t.co\/EUchP4ZcyO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aolJyuMgO3\">pic.twitter.com\/aolJyuMgO3<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ascension Island MPA (@AscensionMPA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AscensionMPA\/status\/1725102115360522557?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 16, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\n\n<p>Resulting sea-floor habitat maps will provide the Ascension Island Government with urgently needed tools to better monitor and protect marine ecosystems, as well as underpin the evidence-based management of the AI-MPA. The data will be merged with an existing dataset collected by the Royal Navy UK Hydrographic Office (UKHO) in 2021, which has already enabled the deployment of an array of sensors to monitor the movement of sharks. The combined datasets will also allow the first detailed geomorphology, substrate and habitat maps to be produced for the island, down to a maximum depth of 1000&nbsp;m.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<blockquote id=\"quote-1785-block_f05458a40a2015aef6c857f53ae20053\" class=\"quote  \" >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/quote-caption.svg\" alt=\"Speech marks icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"quote-text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>Ascension Island is a remote location and therefore presents many unique challenges that need to be overcome if we are to be successful. We have had numerous delays that proved fortuitous: the Royal Navy completed a survey around Ascension Island during COVID-19 lockdowns, which significantly reduced the amount of data we needed to collect, lowering costs and enabling us to refine and focus our survey campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The Ascension Island Government owns a boat that was made available to the project. This simplified logistics but required a totally different methodology for deploying the survey equipment. An appropriate solution was found and trialled in the UK before shipping the equipment to Ascension Island. This \u2018warm-up\u2019 survey allowed us to check it worked, was safe to operate and ensured we had all the equipment needed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rhys Cooper, project manager and senior surveyor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<div  id=\"video-6453-block_b36997cb1e53baaa9de6cda5148693f2\" class=\"video-wrap  \" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"position-relative\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i3.ytimg.com\/vi\/eOBy9bqnJ-w\/hqdefault.jpg\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/video.svg\" class=\"video-play\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption sm-line\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/themes\/bgs\/img\/info-caption.svg\" alt=\"Information icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"caption-text\"><p>Ascension Island expedition preparation in Port Edgar.
