[2] This underwater canyon is a significant geological feature of the Balearic Sea and plays an important role in the region's marine biodiversity.

The unique topography and hydrography of the canyon create habitats for a variety of marine species, including commercially important fish and invertebrates.

It forms an area very rich in biodiversity, since its rocky walls are the shelter of an immense variety of organisms, some of which, like corals, sponges and gorgonians, are protected and in danger of extinction.

Studies have used various methods, including autonomous hydrographic profilers and near-bottom current meters, to monitor sediment transport and water turbidity within the canyon.

Research efforts have focused on understanding sediment dynamics, current patterns, and the ecological significance of the canyon.
