Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Swath bathymetric data were collected along the dock at the Mass Maritime Academy in the area where the Training Ship Kennedy is usually docked. This was an outreach effort to help MMA determine if there is any sediment deposition in that area when the Kennedy is not tied up as the ship is in dry dock now for maintenance.
