 It is obvious that in order for the L/2025/00366 to be in compliance with the OSPAR Convention that considerably more samples need to be obtained to "represent the horizontal and vertical extent of the area" with a subsequent check that "the quantity of material to be dredged" is also properly represented." (OSPAR Agreement 2014-06 paragraph 5.2).

+OSPAR 2014-06 paragraph 5.3: "Where projected depth of dredging is significant, samples will be required at depth, usually by vibracore. The volume of the dredge material should be taken into consideration to determine the number of samples, as below."
+This is well reflected in the number of samples calculated based on these tables, where dredging more than 5m depths shows that the volume table recommends a greater number of samples than the area station numbers.
