Bottom Sampling

Bottom sampling was performed by 60cm diameter box corer, grab, Sediment/Water SW104 and 1.2 gravity corers. Table 5 shows the position of samples. On the undisturbed sample of box-corers a minimum of 2 subcores were taken. Surficial sediment and from particular levels of the sedimentary colums has been collected for further analyses. In the Montenegro survey subsamples for forams and grain size/metals distribution analyses were also obtained. The subsamples and cores were stored at +4. The remaining bulk sediment has been sieved at 1 cm and 3 mm in order to collect the biological content. Figure 14 presents a summary of sampling operations by Box corer and grab.
