ZEE-2014 Cruise (29HE20140429) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2014, During the cruise, which had as main objective the study of the Exclusive Economic Zone of the North of the Iberian Peninsula, 4,983 nautical miles of sounding, verification of anomalies of the magnetic and gravitational field, and probe with penetration capacity in the subsoil have been made , to study the different layers of sediments. The study area covered by the 'Hespérides' has been 58,682 km², which would roughly equal the size of the territory of Castilla-La Mancha. The 2014 ZEE cruise was directed by the Royal Navy Observatory (ROA), with the support of 45 scientists belonging to the Navy Hydrographic Institute (IHM), the Marine Technology Unit (UTM) of the Spanish National Research Council ( CSIC), the Spanish Oceanographic Institute (IEO), the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME), and the universities of Cantabria, Cádiz, Oviedo and Complutense de Madrid
