Field Activity 2021-307-FA

Identifier 2021-307-FA
Purpose To collect Single-beam bathymetry within Grand Bay and Point Au Chenes Bay, AL/MS
Location Grand Bay and Point Aux Chenes Bay, AL/MS
Summary Collected 188 SBES lines, 74 SV casts and 3 days worth of base station data.
Info derived Singlebeam bathymetry x,y,z soundings and bathymetry grids.
Comments 21CCT01 = Jet Ski = RV Shark (white) collecting Single beam bathymetry 21CCT02 = Jet Ski = RV Chum (blue) collecting Single beam bathymetry; Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2015-315-FA as a portion of the data collected will be a repeat of the 2015 survey. Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2020-324-FA - original field effort which was postponed.
