From March 17-31, 2023, a 14-day cruise took place with the participation of 16 scientists and engineers as part of the CONMAR project. The aim was a further investigation of munition dumping sites in the German Baltic Sea. For this purpose the following equipment was used: CTD, VanVeen Grab, MiniMUC, XOFOS, Multibeam, ROV and an AUV. In the wet lab, the XploTector was used for direct measurement of TNT components. The study area covered the coastline from the Flensburg Bay to the Polish-German border above the Szczecin Lagoon.
