Project Background
JNCC will be undertaking an offshore seabed survey to the Dolphin Head (DH hereafter) and North East of Farnes Deep (NEFD hereafter) HPMA's onboard the Marine Research Vessel (MRV) Tom Crean (survey code TC23031).
The TC23031 survey will depart from Portland on 13th September 2023 and return to Aberdeen on approx. 10th October 2023.
JNCC wishes to commission a contract to undertake nutrient and total hydrocarbon content (THC) analysis of 150 water samples collected on this survey.
NEFD and DH lie in offshore waters to the east of Northumberland and south of Sussex respectively. For more information regarding NEFD and DH please see https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/north-east-of-farnes-deep-mpa-and-hpma/ and https://jncc.gov.uk/our-work/dolphin-head-hpma/.
Sampling will be conducted using a Niskin bottle rosette sampler onboard the R/V Tom Crean.
Seawater will be collected from each depth/station and frozen in a 1L plastic bottle with approximately 5cm of headspace air for analysis of; ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate. An additional 1L glass bottle of water will be collected and frozen for analysis of total hydrocarbon content (THC).This will result in final sample numbers of up to 150 samples stored in plastic bottles for nutrient analysis, and 150 samples stored in glass bottles for THC
