Bathymetry

Bathymetry data is collected annually on about 15 km along the coast from Volta River estuary to Atokor using Valeport Midas Eco sounder. The first data collection started in 2022. Acoustic data is collected using a single beam echosounder deployed from the surf zone to about 500 m offshore. Data is collected at water depths between 3 m and 10 m.

Nearshore depth surveys are planned for the monitoring area. This page will show depth transects per survey campaign once the first dataset is imported.

NO RETURNS YET.
No bathymetry has been published. The single-beam echo-sounder is on the rack and the first survey campaign is in preparation — this screen stays empty until verified soundings land. We would rather show you nothing than something smoothed. Ask to be notified below.
