| Purpose | To collect ground truth samples to help characterize the seafloor | ||||||||
| Location | North of Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States, Atlantic Ocean | ||||||||
| Summary | The mini-SEABOSS was used to collected photos, videos and sediment samples at 21 sampling sites in Nantucket Sound aboard the R/V Tioga on May 4, 2017. Navigation was determined with a WAAS-enabled Garmin GPSMAP 76C GPS receiver that was located atop the wheelhouse of the Tioga. | ||||||||
| Info derived | grain size, seafloor character | ||||||||
| Comments | Mini Sea Boss operations will be conducted North of Nantucket as part of an agreement with MA CZM to map the geology of MA waters. Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2016-005-FA | ||||||||
