    Brief

    JNCC is seeking a contractor to analyze seabed still imagery collected during the 2023 Pobie Bank Reef (PBR) monitoring survey (0923S). The project involves annotating approximately 3,880 still images from 97 drop-frame camera monitoring stations using BIIGLE image annotation software. The contractor will identify and quantify seabed fauna, substrate types, and evidence of anthropogenic impacts (litter, trawl marks) following NMBAQC Epibiota interpretation guidelines. Deliverables include a comprehensive analysis report (maximum 15,000 words), substrate and taxonomic reference image collections, and BIIGLE annotations. Optional costed extras include analysis of 10 groundtruthing stations (383 images) and creation of 100 training images for artificial intelligence model development. The successful contractor will have access to the 2023 BIIGLE project, 2020 and 2023 survey reports, metadata, and reference collections from previous monitoring work. This is part of a long-term monitoring timeseries for the PBR Special Area of Conservation in the North Sea, approximately 20 km east of the Shetland Islands.
