Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Survey Operations were conducted during day light hours from 31 Oct- Nov 7th, 2011. Data were collected along approximately 330 kilometers of tracklines spaced 20-50m apart depending on depth. Bathymetric coverage was not 100 percent because of shallow depths. Towed sidescan sonar was able to collect complete coverage without gaps over most of the survey area.
