Description:
Porcupine Seabight and Abyssal Plain have been an important area for bio-geochemical flux studies in the past but are also a very productive fisheries and oil-gas exploration area.
It is a stable margin with little evidence of seismicity, but does have important deep water habitats. This CELTNET site is used as a case study in the project ESONIM.
