Description
Summary:The purpose of the cruise was to collect environmental baseline samples in the Saqqaa Fjord outside of the Kirkespir Valley in South Greenland, where a gold mine is planed. Such a study should be performed in three different years during the same annual period in order to assess satisfying undisturbed and unpolluted environmental baseline values. The fieldwork consists of: Collection offish by net from the shores. Collection of crabs and estimation of crab abundance. Making CTD measurements in the fjord. Recovering of current meters and sediment traps deployed by URS consultants.
