This information is being used in a variety of ways - to help map seabed habitats, to identify potential protected areas, to influence fishery management decisions and to inform the licensing of developments in the marine environment. Seasearch divers are also bringing back hundreds of images of the seabed - many divers now carry a compact camera/video camera The acquisition of detailed remote-sensing data (see DORIS) marked the start of a new chapter in Dorset Seasearch.  Divers are now able to accurately target a huge number of newly revealed seabed features, making the survey much more efficient.  It has also opened up a range of new dive-sites in Dorset, many of which are sure to become classic dives.
