PROMARES Cruise (29SG20110630) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2011, The PROMARES-OASIS DEL MAR cruise will focus on identification operations, underwater cartography and analysis of the nature of the seabed, and will study the sedimentary structures, the benthic communities and the impact of human activity on the submarine canyons and the slope of the continental margin of the Catalan coast, especially the submarine canyons of Cape Creus, Palamós and Blanes. Will study the different dynamic processes that take place in the submarine canyons and adjacent slopes, especially the phenomena linked to extreme storms and the cascading processes of dense platform waters in the north-western Mediterranean, up to 2,000 meters deep. Is the first scientific campaign of the Liropus 2000 (with aticulated arm to take samples, It can also absorb sediment with suction pumps ), a remote controlled scientific submarine vehicle (remotely operated vehicle, ROV) of the IEO
