Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This pre-cruise shoal survey was conducted to delimit shallows on Diamond Shoal (6 meter contour) to allow the R/V MEGAN MILLER to collect data as close to the shoal as possible during FA 08001 (R. Thieler, June - July 2008). Data collected from RTK GPS, HYPACK raw data files, and Knudsen 3.5 will be included in the FA 08001 report.
