Seabed Images at pilot oyster reefs in the Borkum Reef Ground marine protected area taken in July 2025

Description: Video transects were done using the A.IKANBILISTM hovering autonomous underwater vehicle (HAUV) of the company BeeX (https://beex.sg/a-ikanbilis/), which flew over the reefs along predefined transects at a depth of 0.5m above seabed and at a speed of 1 m s-1. From the dive videos of the HAUV, SBIs were extracted every 5 seconds. SBIs, each SBI features two parallel laser lines 25 cm away from each other. The camera used was a GoPro, the videos and pictures were taken perpendicularly to the seabed. The seabed images provide insights into the general composition of key species, higher systematic groups and ecological guilds. The images contain information on how benthic species are associated to each other. Transect files include individual images, whereas metadata of each image includes diving depth, date/time of transect. Geographical coordinates of some individual images is unavailable, images have a resolution of 300dpi and a size of 7 to 13 MB.
