    <abstract>The Zoology Laboratory of the University of Thessaloniki, has undertaken an investigation relating to the benthic fauna of the Evvoia Coast and Evvoia Gulf since 1970.  In this study were described specific benthic species. Some of them were recorded for the first time among the marine fauna of our country.</abstract>

    <coverage>
      <geographicCoverage>
        <geographicDescription>Includes 80 stations in the Evvoia Coast and Evvoia Gulf. E, V, F or SE in front of stations goes to Evvoia, Voiotia, Fiotida, SouthEvvoia etc.
Stations have been digitized by the paper map with an uncertainty in meters of 3000m. Some stations have different letters in front e.g E.59 and F.59.This is because they have sampled in two places very closed to each other(so it is covered by the uncertainty). E.59 have been digitized, because the other is not on the map.This goes also to station 80(S.E.80,N.E.80), 81,etc.</geographicDescription>
