Equipment Used: SEA SWATHplus-M 234 kHz, Edgetech chirp subbottom profiler 512i, Real Time Kinematic GPS, SEA SWATHplus-L 117 kHz, Klein 3000
Information to be Derived: Sea floor map; Bathymetric maps;
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Survey collected 100% coverage with swath bathymetry over an area of approx. 350 km2 in northern Cape Cod Bay. Approx. 1300 line km of sidescan sonar and sub-bottom profiles were also collected. Preliminary data processing took place during survey.
