The North Sea is one of the most heavily used seas in the world. Shipping, fishing and other anthropogenic activities have substantial effects on natural ecosystems, while also influencing the North Sea’s

seafloor habitats. Besides the investigation of natural dynamics, this includes the consideration of anthropogenic influences, requirements, and stressors. Current research projects Sequestration and storage of

bottom waters of the Weddell Sea, reveal a steady CO 2 increase of anthropogenic origin, as surface water charged with anthropogenic CO 2 is a major component in the formation of WSBW (Van Heuven et al [...] al. 2011). The findings reflect the deep-sea sequestration of anthropogenic CO 2 , thus contributing to diminishing the burden of excess CO 2 in the atmosphere. The largest increase of CO 2 is found in [...] in the surface layer (Van Heuven et al. 2014). Here, uptake of excess CO 2 , i.e. anthropogenic CO 2 , from the atmosphere has obviously occurred. Somewhat surprisingly, steady state tracer oxygen shows
