Campaign: INTEMARES-MALLORCA (INTEMARES-A 22B_0718)
Description
The main objective of the INTEMARES-A22B_0718 cruise, to be carried out on board the R/V Ángeles Alvariño, is to obtain the necessary information for the declaration of the seamounts of the south of Mallorca as LIC and identify habitats of community interest (according to Annex I of DH) susceptible to be included in the RN2000. The specific goals focus on the investigation of the seabed of this area, both by indirect and direct methods: - Geomorphological, structural and sedimentary characterization from the acquisition and analysis of the bathymetric and reflectivity data obtained by multibeam echo sounder (EM710) and parametric echo sounder profiles (TOPAS PS018), combined with the samples of surface sediments collected with the Box-Corer, Shipek, Van Veen and trawl dredgers. - Start of sampling of flora and fauna for the biological characterization of the benthic communities through the use of epi-benthic beam trawl and the Box-Corer, Shipek, Van Veen and trawl dredgers.
