GEOxyz completed an extensive marine geophysical survey for the Xlinks Morocco–UK route in 2023. Survey data acquired from the vessel Geo Ocean VI included multibeam echosounder (MBES), sidescan sonar (SSS), magnetometer and sub-bottom profiler (SBP) recordings across the offshore cable corridor and nearshore landfall approaches; these data were provided to archaeological specialists (Wessex Archaeology) and used to inform the PEIR baseline. The work formed part of a reconnaissance phase carried out across 2022–2023 to characterise seabed morphology, features and route constraints prior to detailed design and pre-construction activities.
