This area is known to be an oceanographic hotspot because the shelf is very narrow and northern drift of warm Atlantic water is concentrated and very dynamic in this area. It is also a biological hotspot because the large oceanic fish stocks are passing through or spawn in the area. It is finally an economic hotspot because the area is expected to hold large oil and gas resources but exploitation of these resources is controversial because of the importance for fish and fishermen in this region.

The present cruise aimed at performing echosounder and multibeam surveys as well as performing water samples and CTD casts around node 7 and known seepage area.
