Further to this piece of work carried out by the BGS -

Specifically, I would like to know, for each year between 2005 and the date of this request, the number of underwater explosions recorded by the BGS in Beaufort's Dyke.
In addition, the areas listed below [list provided in attached document] are charted as disused dumping grounds for explosive material. Is it possible to get the number of explosions recorded by the BGS in these locations too? Ideally for the same time frame.
I'm happy to be guided by you in terms of what is a realistic time frame for this part of my request (and indeed Beaufort's Dyke) as obviously keen to keep the request within the scope of the FOI legislation and don't want to overstretch your team. So please do get back to me if I need to reword my request.
