Abstract
A detailed regional bathymetric map has been analysed and correlated with s eismic and sedimentological data. The morphostructural features identified between 90 and 120 m are considered as well preserved coastal enviromnent d eposits accumulated during the last glacial maximum and the eustatic sea le vel rise of the Holocene. They are analogues of Pleistocene seismic units a nd reservoirs previously described in the area.
