MERS Cruise (29SG20200903) carried out on the Research Vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa in 2020, The CRIMA oceanographic cruise investigates two of the main sensitive and productive Mediterranean benthic habitats, crinoids and maërl. The cruise will devote mainly to work on the Image Analysis Methodology through the use of ROV LIROPUS on location, characterisation and bathymetric distribution of these two seabeds associated to fisheries in the studied Mediterranean coast, from Catalan coast to Murcia Coast. Benthic organisms and sediment, CTD profiles and bathymetries will obtained. The information will offer the possibility to analyse the ecological integrity by indicators estimation, and define levels of fragmentation/connectivity to evaluate de Good and Environmental Status. CRIMA cruise is running from 3 to 23 of September

COMSOM Cruise (29GD20090522) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2009, Assesment of the status of benthic communities subjected to different levels of fishing impacts and marine debris as a tool for ecosystem management . Build models that explain the changes that take place in the communities of soft soils of trawling fishing grounds, depending on the fishing activity. It is also intended to assess the impact of sedimented marine litter

DEEPVISION-1 Cruise (29GD20160402) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2016, Science,technology ,and society initiative to minimize unwanted catches in european fisheries.The project’s overall objective is to minimise unwanted catches by incentivising the adoption of fishing technologies and practices that reduce pre-harvest mortality and post-harvest discards, while avoiding damage to sensitive marine species and habitats. Experimental fishing will be carried out with the Deep Vision system installed in a fishing gear. The sampling stations are in fishing grounds commercial area of the province of Girona, between Blanes and Palamós. The fishing carried out at different depths between 50 and 600 m approximately, with stations located in the 5 depths In each depth will be carried out a minimum of two tests. It is intended to identify non-target species, size species non-legal and benthic organisms of discarding.The epibenthic community will be sampled with an experimental benthic dredger "2m beam-trawl ", with a rigid opening of 2mx40cm, and a mesh of 1cm for retain the macrofauna. There will be 5-7 catchs 15 ' duration distributed in radials based on the sampling stations with the experimental network. The fishing will standardize a surface unit dragged. The benthic dredger is planned for a depth sensor, Scamnar type, to ensure its positioning in the background. In each sampling station, CTD profiles will be made to characterize the hydrographic situation. Samples of sediment and macroinfauna will be obtained for characterize the habitat the infauna community with a Van Veen dredge (0.1m 2), obtaining 3 dredges in each station. In each station the 10 cm of surface of the sediment column will be sampled .In the shallowest sampling areas (<100m) transects of 30 minutes with an ROV (SPY type) to obtain real-time images of the background. This methodology allows to complement the information of the samples withnon-intrusive samplings for benthic habitats
