A summary of work on benthic communities in the Southern Bight of the North Sea and adjacent estuaries sampled between 1976 and 1978. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Heip, C.H.R.; Herman, R.; Bisschop, G.; Govaere, J.C.R.; Holvoet, M.; Van Damme, D.; Vanosmael, C.; Willems, K.R.; De Coninck, L.A.P. (1979).

Pp. 133-163. more
The dataset contains biotic data (macro-and meiobenthos density and biomass) as well as abiota (sediment analysis).
