| Abstract | This Cape Canyon Exploration Cruise: Southern Benguela in the South-East Atlantic Ocean was conducted on the Algoa Voyage 236 from the 06 to 30 March, 2017. The overall aim of this Cape Canyon exploration project is to initiate multi-discplinary and integrated benthic ecosystem process studies within DEA:OCR, in collaboration with external experts (South African National Biodiversity Institute, South African Environmental Observations Network, Council for GeoScience and Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University). Objectives include the collection of basic physical, chemical, biological and oceanographic data that will enable the understanding of the environment of the canyon and an assessment of the spatial distibution of benthic species. |
