Core sampling on the mudflat of the Basque continental shelf. This falls under the Aquitaine / Euskadi project.
Assessment of chemical contamination in coastal water masses (Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Sicily canal), using artificial stations of mussels. The MYTILOS1 cruise aimed to utilize the RINBIO network methodology around the western Mediterranean, in the northern part of the NW Basin. Experiments run in the French Mediterranean since 1996 by IFREMER were to be extended to Southern Mediterranean coasts, i.e. Spanish, Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisian coasts, as well as the Sicily Canal in Italy, on the basis of a standardized protocol. The data from MYTILOS2 cruise will supplement those obtained in 2004 and 2005 during the RINBIOC1 and MYTILOS1 cruises by including the coasts of North Africa, Southern Spain and the island of Pantelleria. In addition, the results will be used to complement the chemical contamination budget drawn up in the framework of the European Water Framework Directive's implementation. This falls under the 'MEDICIS' project.
Characterization of the Quaternary and Neogene sedimentary cover of the NW Atlantic shelf zone off Morocco and Quaternary deformations. This falls under the ANR ISIS project.

In addition, the results will be used to complement the chemical contamination budget drawn up in the framework of the European Water Framework Directive's implementation. The survey was based on 2 major actions: 1) Artificial mussel stations were placed and recovered along a shoreline between Malaga (Spain) and Sicily (Italy), including Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. 2) Sediment samples in addition to mussels samples were taken upon the partners' request. This falls under the MEDICIS project.

Development of underwater photogrammetry system for Marine Renewable Energy
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 cartography fauna. 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.
