Submarine canyons are internationally reported to enhance upwelling and heterogeneity. However, in South Africa such studies remain limited and thus a knowledge gap in regional submarine canyon dynamics still exists. To address this gap, the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment: Oceans and Coasts initiated a multi-disciplinary expedition onboard the RV Algoa (March 2016-2018) where oceanographic data, amongst other datasets, was collected within a 5x5 nautical mile distance. The benthic stations were linked to the associated mean bottom temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles.
