Campaign: INTEMARES-A 22-MU-0819
Description
The goal of this survey is to obtain the necessary information to declare this area as a MPA. To this purpouse, there are two specific goals: • Sampling specially aimed to habitats 1170 and 1180 for the biological characterization of macrobenthic communities within the study area. The use of non-destructive methodologies (photography / video transects) and traditional samplers, mainly rock dredge and beam trawl, is contemplated. Also, a limited number of hydrographic profiles will be optined to identify the water bodies present in the different sectors of the study area. • Continuation of the geomorphological and sedimentary characterization initiated in the INTEMARES MURCIA 0118 survey, based on the acquisition and analysis of the bathymetric and reflectivity data obtained through the EM710 multi-beam echo sounder and the profiles of the TOPAS PS018 parametric echo sounder, combined with the surface sediment samples collected with box-corer, Shipek and other dredges in localities of interest that were not possible to sample in the first survey due to adverse weather conditions.
