| Cruise Info. | |
| Ship name (ship code) | RV Cefas Endeavour (74E9) |
| Cruise identifier | 19/18 |
| Cruise period | 2018-11-20 — 2018-12-03 |
| Status | Completed |
| Port of departure | Hamburg, Germany |
| Port of return | Kiel, Germany |
| Purpose | Research |
| Objectives | Monitoring of nutrients, trace metals, artificial radioactivity, visible surface contaminants and organic contaminants in the water column of the German Bight and Baltic Sea (German EEZ only), 41 water sampling sites in the German Bight and 14 in the Baltic Sea. CTD Profiles were measured at all water sampling sites. Water samples to detect artificial radioactivity were taken from the seawater pipe (deck). Continuous salinity, temperature and fluorescence measurements during the entire cruise. Sediment samples for the determination of trace metal and organic burden in surface sediments were taken with the small Box Corer at 6 stations in the German bight and 6 stations in the Baltic Sea. |
