Abstract
Marine GeoSolutions (Pty) Ltd was contracted by the National Research Foundation (NRF) of South Africa to undertake a multibeam bathymetric survey of the northern KwaZulu-Natal submarine canyon system to define potential coelacanth habitats for the SA Coelacanth Conservation and Genome Resource Programme. Five survey blocks were defined to include all the known submarine canyons in the area. The survey blocks were systematically surveyed to develop a series of colour-draped bathymetric maps and three-dimensional models of the canyons. These maps were then used to provide information for potential submersible dive sites and produce the basal layer of a marine GIS (Geographical Information System).
