| Abstract | The BENCHMARK (Benthic Habitats in Denmark Strait) cruise was carried on board the R/V G.O. Sars between August 1st, and 10th, 2021 (Reykjavik – Reykjavík), with the main objectives of collect underwater video and photographs to characterise the composition and distribution of epibenthic fauna in the Denmark Strait, with a particular focus on taxa considered indicators of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, and to survey water mass properties and flow structure across the Denmark Strait. EUROFLEETS+ financed the cost of the vessel operation, ROV crew, and travel costs for the scientific crew. In addition, it supported the cost of improving the capabilities of the vessel to transmit live video feed on the internet. Collection of multibeam data. In locations where there was no multibeam data available, we collected highresolution bathymetry and backscatter data using the EM 302 echosounder. Data was obtained on an area of approximately 20 km2 surrounding the sampling site. The purpose of this was twofold: a) to assist the navigation of the ROV and identify the location of interesting features on the seabed, and b) to provide information to contextualize the observations carried out during the dive. Multibeam: multiple grids in geotiff format in a 'zip' file. |
