values from sediments in the Faroe area are
within the same range as comparable areas
in Norway and south of the Faroe-Shetland
Channel. Deep sea data from the Vøring
Plateau showed higher organic content,
compared to both the Faroe area and the
south of Faroe-Shetland Channel area, while
regional data from the Norwegian sector of
the North Sea showed a remarkably low or-
ganic content in the sediments. Moreover,
zinc and copper concentrations were also
low. These examples demonstrate the im-
portance of baseline surveys for general area
descriptions.
