That is the location. If the charts i am rreferringto are accurate the
erosion channels that radiate beyond the trench to the deeper parts of the
basin have a wide gap between the coast and the sediment bed. This would
eliminate the turbidity currents and the landslides associated with the steep
wall of the continental edge. These canyons are present right to the edge of
the trench. Looks like they were formed and then the trench gap widened.
