    "Title": "Infaunal SACFOR abundance data from underwater video footage from the selected Special Areas of Conservation (SACs), Northern Ireland, 2017.",
    "Abstract": "This dataset contains information on the SACFOR abundance of benthic infauna species from video footage from selected Special Areas of Conservation (SAC\u2019s) in Northern Irish waters. The selected SAC\u2019s have previous multibeam data available for each site, therefore this project was to provide ground-truthing evidence for these habitats. The surveys took place from 2017-09-25 to 2017-09-27 on board the RV Corystes and the selected SAC\u2019s are as follows; Red Bay SAC, The Maidens SAC and Skerries \u0026amp; Causeway SAC.",
