Golfe du Lion s.l.


Explanation:
I think that it may be the Spanish designation for "sociedad limitada."

When I googled your term, most of the hits came up in Spanish. This made me remember that SL is a company designation in Spanish, which led me to google "Golfo de leon SL," which provided a number of hits and links to business registers.

Does this work with your context?

Fair enough. It's a pure coincidence that there is a Spanish company of the same name. I thought maybe they were involved in conducting the study, since a lot of the hits had to do with works contracts.

I couldn't find anything geology-related whatsoever. Good luck!

Asker: Thanks, but this doesn't work; this is purely describing geographical/geological features and there is no reference to any company

Explanation:
with "s.l." then being "south litoral", or the south coast of France.

It sort of makes sense, but I'm not at all sure.
