Biotic and abiotic data from the baseline study in 2025 for the fisheries management area (COMOFISH Area 3) in the Belgian Part of the North Sea
This dataset presents findings from an environmental impact assessment conducted in 20 different stations, 10 located within the future exclusion zone, and 10 located outside the future zone to serve as a reference. Samples were collected at 20 locations in 2025 using a 0.1 m² Van Veen Grab, assessing sediment grain size distribution and total organic carbon content. Macrobenthos samples were preserved, stained, and analyzed in the laboratory.

The samples were collected at 20 different stations within the Abra albabcommunity in the BPNS. Macrobenthos samples were collected using a 0.1 m² Van Veen Grab. From these 20 locations 10 were located within the proposed fisheries management area, and 10 around the zone for serve as future reference to monitore changes. The grain size distribution was measured using laser diffraction with a Malvern Mastersizer. The TOC content in each sample was measured by combustion using an ELTRA CS2000 with infrared cells after acidifying the samples. On board, the Van Veen grab samples were sieved over a 1 mm mesh-sized sieve, and the macrobenthos was preserved in 4% formaldehyde-seawater solution. The samples were then stained with 1% Rose Bengal. In the laboratory, organisms were sorted, counted and identified to the lowest taxonomic level. Data were quality checked and flagged accordingly.
