Notes: The RTK-GPS system we are using is a Spectra SP80. We are also using a Hemisphere GPS heading system installed on the jetyak.
Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2016-006-FA.
Platform used for sidescan/bathymetry/navigation is the USGS modified kayak named the jetyak.
Location:
Sandwich Town Neck Beach, Cape Cod Bay, Massachusetts, United States, Atlantic Ocean
