The Sea in Maps and Pictures

This year the MAREANO programme will continue the bathymetric mapping in the Barents Sea, although only smaller transects. Therefore, there will not be a tender competition for the procurement of bathymetric data acquisition and processing.

Cruise diary: The ongoing MAREANO survey has now moved southwards from the Træna Bank to the Sklinna Bank on the mid-Norwegian shelf. The seafloor terrain here varies more than farther north, and we have found hitherto unregistered cold-water coral reefs.

Cruise diary: In the framework of this year´s seabed mapping on the Norwegian continental shelf, R/V "G.O. Sars" arrived on Trænabanken last week.
