Surface and intermediate waters enter the Ligurian Sea from the Tyrrhenian and Algero-Provencal basins via northward flows along the east and west coasts of Corsica. The temporal variability of these flows is examined by means of a 1-year time series of current data (October 1986 to September 1987) and hydrographic data from December, March, and May cruises. The flow through the Corsica Channel increases suddenly during December and then gradually decreases after March, reaching its lowest values in late summer. The seasonal variability in the channel seems associated mainly with the steric sea level differences between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Ligurian Sea. The West Corsican Current appears more stable throughout the one year of data. The two flows converge just north of Corsica into the Ligurian Current.

More than 10 000 km of high-resolution seismic profiles permit detailed study of six fourth-order seismic stratigraphic sequences deposited during the last million years on the Latium continental shelf, Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy. Sedimentation occurred on a relatively young passive margin characterized by a narrow and relatively steep shelf where sediment storage capacity in adjacent subaerial basins was limited. The Late Pleistocene deposits are locally tilted and eroded to different levels along the sea-floor so that carefully placed seafloor gravity cores help constrain the age of the seismic sequences by the dating of micro-fauna. Correlation with a deep well located on the coast constrains the basal third-order sequence boundary on the shelf. The seismic and a limited core database make it possible to: (1) detail variability in the architecture, stratal patterns and bounding surfaces of the sequences across the shelf and adjacent continental slope; (2) define a hierarchy of seismic units and their bounding surfaces; (3) make a correlation with the published oxygen-isotope curves; (4) develop a detailed stratigraphic framework and model for the fourth-order sequences deposited during last 0.8 Ma; (5) define the effects of the long-lasting eustatic falls on margin sedimentation; (6) recognize volumetric partitioning of sedimentation between systems tracts.

The site you selected falls within the Tyrrhenian Sea. There are several Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) nearby of which you should be aware. Mediterranean MPAs usually have special restrictions: speed and diving limitations, permitting requirements and other regulations often apply. Please consult the website or contact shown below for details.
