Get Offshore Backscatter Polygons & Data items

This layer shows the location and basic information for bathymetric surveys containing backscatter data. A zip file of the backscatter image files (e.g. geotiffs) for the survey can be downloaded using the URL link provided. Note that there can be more than one polygon per survey and these will link to the same zip file for the entire survey. For access to the data underlying the images please contact Marine Enquiries (offshoredata@bgs.ac.uk). The majority of the data were collected and processed for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) under the Civil Hydrography Programme. If further processing is required, BGS can provide a quote. To download the related bathymetry data go to the Admiralty Marine Data Portal - https://data.admiralty.co.uk/portal/apps/sites/#/marine-data-portal.

Query parameters

f'json' | 'html' | 'jsonld' | 'csv'

The optional f parameter indicates the output format which the server shall provide as part of the response document. The default format is GeoJSON.

lang'en-US'

The optional lang parameter instructs the server return a response in a certain language, if supported. If the language is not among the available values, the Accept-Language header language will be used if it is supported. If the header is missing, the default server language is used. Note that providers may only support a single language (or often no language at all), that can be different from the server language. Language strings can be written in a complex (e.g. "fr-CA,fr;q=0.9,en-US;q=0.8,en;q=0.7"), simple (e.g. "de") or locale-like (e.g. "de-CH" or "fr_BE") fashion.

bboxnumber[]

Only features that have a geometry that intersects the bounding box are selected.The bounding box is provided as four or six numbers, depending on whether the coordinate reference system includes a vertical axis (height or depth).

limitinteger

The optional limit parameter limits the number of items that are presented in the response document (maximum=1000000, default=10).

crsstring uri

Indicates the coordinate reference system for the results.

bbox-crsstring uri

Indicates the coordinate reference system for the given bbox coordinates.

propertiesstring[]

The properties that should be included. The parameter value is a comma-separated list of property names.

vendorSpecificParametersobject

Additional "free-form" parameters that are not explicitly defined

skipGeometryboolean

This option can be used to skip response geometries for each feature.

offsetinteger

The optional offset parameter indicates the index within the result set from which the server shall begin presenting results in the response document. The first element has an index of 0 (default).
