Scope and Objective of Work

  • The Sub-bottom profile survey was carried out by covering an area of 600 m X 1500 m @ 60m interval.
  • The Sub-bottom profile survey was carried out using GeoPulse sub-bottom profiler. CODA Geosurvey software was adopted for data acquisition.
  • The navigation of survey vessel was followed by Hypack Max Hydrographic survey software.
  • The seabed investigations carried out through Side scan sonar survey and shallow seismic survey concludes that the seabed is predominantly composed by sedimentary rocks at various thickness and depth.
  • The finer sediment particles are scattered and spread on seafloor. An uneven topographical mound is noticed in southern east part of survey area.
