Field Activity Details for field activity M201GM

AKA: none

Other ID: M-2-01-GM,MW-1-01-GM

Status: Completed

Organization(s): National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, C&C Technologies, Inc., University of New Brunswick, Interactive Visualization Systems, USGS, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center, University of New Hampshire

Funding Program(s): Pacific Seafloor Mapping Project (ZP000LD)

Principal Investigator(s): Jim Gardner

Affiliate Investigator(s):

Information Specialist(s): Peter Dartnell

Data Type(s): Sonar: Multibeam

Scientific Purpose/Goals: Map the region between the 50 to 150-m isobaths south from the eastern edge of De Soto Canyon as far as Steamboat Lumps. These data should prove extremely useful in relating dominant species groups (which display highly specific biotope affinities) to the geomorphology (e.G., reef flattop, forereef crest, reef wall, reef base, circum-reef talus zone, circum-reef, high-reflectivity sediment apron, etc.)

Vehicle(s):

Start Port/Location: Panama City, FL

End Port/Location: Panama City, FL

Start Date: 2001-09-03

End Date: 2001-10-12

Equipment Used: multibeam

Information to be Derived: Bathymetry and calibrated, co-registered acoustic backscatter
