CEND23/15 Cruise Report: Monitoring Survey of Croker Carbonate Slabs cSAC/SCI 2016

Abstract

The monitoring survey of the Croker Carbonate Slabs candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) and Site of Community Importance (SCI) was carried out between 24 October and 6 November 2015. Indicators of the presence of methane, including active gas seabed seepage, and extensive formations with the appearance of Methane-Derived Authigenic Carbonate (MDAC) were identified. Samples of this potential MDAC were collected using a mini-Hamon grab from a number of stations across the site.
