The main objective foreseen in the ECOMARG 2021 campaign, to be carried out on board the R/V Ángeles Alvariño (IEO), is the study of the spatial distribution, structure and dynamics of vulnerable habitats of the ZEC “El Cachucho” (Le Danois Bank and its internal basin) and the head of the nearby Lastres canyon. Specific objectives: • Estimation of the abundance and spatial distribution of the epibenthic communities that characterize the vulnerable habitats present in the area, with special priority for the classified as 1170 Reefs in the DH. • Monitoring of the conservation status of vulnerable habitats and their communities biological, using fixed sampling stations, through indicators of the Red Natura 2000, in accordance with article 17 of the Habitats Directive, applying technical photogrammetric. • Geophysical study of the Lastres and Llanes canyons by obtaining cartography high resolution. • Characterization of the oceanographic dynamics of the BBL (Benthic Boundary Layer - layer near the bottom) in the Gaviera Canyon and in the fixed sampling stations from El Cachucho to know the environmental characteristics of the habitats 1170. • Study of the mobile species (mainly fish, crustaceans, and mollusks) of the Vulnerable habitats present at fixed sampling stations using platforms multiparametric (landers).
The campaign targets under TASIFE 0414, to carry on board the research vessel Angeles Alvariño, are the set up and maintenance of equipment deep underwater photography TASIFE 2013. Specific objectives focus on the investigation of benthic Banks areas of 'Reserva Marina de La Palma' and 'ZEC Franja Marina Teno-Rasca (Tenerife)' by direct and visual methods. Specifically: · Extensive visual videogrammetry HD with sled towed "NEXUS". · Recognition with multibeam bathymetric probe.
