Information Specialist(s): Seth Ackerman

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: Navigation, Sampling: Geology, Imagery: Video, Imagery: Photo

Scientific Purpose/Goals: To collect ground truth sediment samples, video and photographs to help characterize the seafloor geology and biota

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Groton/Avery Point, CT

End Port/Location: Groton/Avery Point, CT

Start Date: 2025-05-12

End Date: 2025-05-22

Equipment Used: HYPACK, Blackfly S 5MP camera , DSPL HD Mulit Seacam, SeaBOSS

Information to be Derived: grain size, seafloor character

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Successfully occupied 75 SEABOSS sampling sties identified by collaborators at University of New Haven and UConn. Sediment samples were collected at every site, as was seafloor video and photographs. Data (including the HYPACK nav project) are archived on the SFMG server. Additional info will be updated in Compass as we begin to process analyze the survey data.
