Campaign: INTEMARES-A 22 MU20 (INTEMARES-A22M-0720)
Description
The main objective of this campaign is to obtain acoustic, sedimentary and biological data of the study area in order to obtain the necessary information for the declaration of this zone as SCI. For this, three specific objectives are contemplated: 1. Geomorphological and sedimentary characterization started in the INTEMARES MURCIA campaign 0118 and continued in the INTEMARES campaign A22MU-0819, from the acquisition and analysis of the bathymetric and reflectivity data obtained using the EM710 multibeam echo sounder and of the profiles of the TOPAS PS018 parametric echo sounder, combined with the collection of surface sediment samples using box-corer dredgers, short cores of gravity, dredge Van Veen and Shipek in the localities of interest that it was not possible to sample in the first two campaigns. The acquisition of acoustic data has as a priority complete the areas indicated by the bentos team to obtain photo images and video in the following campaign to be carried out on board the Sarmiento de Gamboa ship, and where they will use the ROV Liropus. 2. Bionomic characterization, also, to complete the information obtained in the previous campaigns carried out in the area with the aim of improving fauna cartography. In this case, all the surface samples obtained will be studied, and will process to obtain the biological material. 3. Obtaining hydrographic profiles at different depths to identify the bodies of water present in the different sectors of the study area.
