Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) on the Algoa Voyage 255, November 2018

This Integrated Ecosystem Programme: Southern Benguela (IEP:SB) cruise was conducted on the Algoa Voyage 255 in November 2018. This is a long-term monitoring line conducted off the coast of Kleinsee, Namaqualand, Elands/St Helena Bay and Scarborough on the west coast of South Africa. The IEP:SB in 2013 consolidated a long-term, multi-decadal time-series (from 1951 onward) of information for this important region and has continued monitoring in the form of the IEP:SB. The programme is a...

Averaged bottom temperature and dissolved oxygen in and around the Cape Canyon

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....
