SWATH BATHYMETRY, CHIRP PROFILING AND BOTTOM SAMPLING

During nights and on every opportunity during the day, e.g. transits to stations, multibeam and chirp runlines were performed, with the aim to map interesting features on the sea bottom, that could be representative of the different geological settings. Bathymetric data were collected mainly on three areas, (a) the Bay of Kotor and shelf, (b) the shelf in front of Bar, and (c) the area between the Bojana River (border between Montenegro and Albania) and Cape Rodonit in Albania. Other data were collected on the Montenegrinian and Albanian slope and shelf during transits.
