Field Activity 10BHM01

Identifier 10BHM01
Purpose Bathymetry was collected in 2009 and peak intensity of bottom reflection provides an indication of benthic habitat type. Verification and ground truthing is needed to type the benthic composition and allow for cross-correlation with the bathymetric intensity.
Location Horn Island, MS to Petit Bois Island, MS
Info derived Classification and verification of bottom type in order to create/confirm benthic habitats
Comments Additional Equipment: Ponar grab sample.
Platform
Glacier Bay Cat Boat
