[ES] La plataforma continental del golfo de Cádiz fue un escenario frecuente de fondeo para buques de gran envergadura, especialmente gaseros, durante la crisis energética de 2022. Este estudio investiga el impacto del anclaje en el sedimento y la fauna marina, utilizando datos de ecosonda multihaz y muestras de sedimento y fauna epibentónica. Los análisis revelan persistentes patrones de rugosidad en el lecho marino, correlacionados con densidades de buques metaneros y eventos de fondeos. Se identificaron fondos montículados y surcos con dimensiones que oscilan entre 100 y 450 m, y profundidades de incisión de hasta 0,5 m en los fondos montículados y de 2 m en los surcos. La complejidad de la interacción entre la actividad de las embarcaciones, las características geomorfológicas y los procesos erosivos subraya las implicaciones ecológicas de los cambios inducidos por la actividad humana en este hábitat marino. La discusión destaca la necesidad de un enfoque integral para abordar estas interacciones para una gestión marina sostenible.
[EN] The continental shelf of the Gulf of Cadiz has become a common anchoring ground for large vessels, especially gas carriers, during the 2022 energy crisis. This study investigates the impact of anchoring on sediment and marine fauna, using multibeam data and sediment/fauna samples. Analyses reveal persistent rugosity patterns on the seabed, correlated with gas tanker densities and anchoring events. Mounded seabed and furrows were identified, ranging in dimensions from 100 to 450 m, with incision depths of up to 0.5 m in the marks and 2 m in the furrows. The complexity of the interaction between vessel activity, geomorphological features, and erosive processes underscores the ecological implications of human-induced changes in this marine habitat. The discussion highlights the need for a comprehensive approach to address these interactions for sustainable marine management.
