| Purpose | Conduct sidescan sonar surveys to image sedimentary environments and biological habitats. Acquire data from the sea bed that will be used to interpret sidescan sonar imagery and compile maps of Stellwagen Bank NMS. | ||||||||
| Location | Stellwagen Bank, Massachusetts, United States, North America, North Atlantic; | ||||||||
| Summary | Poor weather allowed us to work approximately 53% of the time available for operations at sea. Sidescan sonar: 513 km; Stations: 107 (sample, video transect, still photos at each station). | ||||||||
| Info derived | Habitat maps; Sea floor map; | ||||||||
