Norwegian Margin site
Network: EMSO
Area: Haakon Mosby Mud Volcano
Location: Ocean > Atlantic Ocean > North Atlantic Ocean > Norwegian Sea
Description:
Norwegian margin region has shown slope instability with evidence of major slides which if repeated could result in catastrophic damage to offshore oil and gas installations as well as indirect effects of tsunamis striking the coasts of the British isles and elsewhere.
Special deep water habitats, such as coral reefs, are also an issue.
