Status: Completed
Organization(s): USGS, St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center
Funding Program(s): Lostman's Shark Rver - NPS (MN000AZ)
Principal Investigator(s): Mark Erik Hansen
Affiliate Investigator(s): Jordan Barr - National Park Service (NPS), Everglades National Park (ENP)
Information Specialist(s): Nancy DeWitt
Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sonar: Interferometric, Sonar: Sound Velocity
Scientific Purpose/Goals: To perform an interferometric swath bathymetric survey of Lostmans River and unmapped portions of the Shark River. The goal is to merge this data with previous swath surveys in this area for complete bathymetry coverage. This effort is needed for resource management and hydrologic modeling work in ENP.
