Figure 6. Bathymetric image of study area from sounding and multibeam data. Light tones represent shallower depths and dark tones represent deeper areas. A ridge is located across the northern and western parts of the study area. A channel is located south of the ridge and north and west of a bathymetric high in the southeast. Another bathymetric low is located in the southeastern corner of the study area.
