| Purpose | Map sediments and stratigraphy of the Bay. | ||||||||
| Location | Barnegat Bay, NJ | ||||||||
| Summary | R/V Rafael collected 1050 kms of bathymetry, backscatter, and seismics, along tracklines spaced 50-m apart between 20 Mar (JD080) and 8 April (JD090), 2012. Mini-SEABOSS survey operations (10-12 April, 2012) collected bottom photographs, video and sediment samples at ~ 81 stations. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Stratigraphy and sediment distribution. | ||||||||
| Comments | This project is OFA funded through WHCMSC, the SPCMSC is providing staff and equipment. The St. Pete swath system (SwathPlus +H) will be unavailable during this time. The survey will be conducted from the WHCMSC vessel, the R/V Rafael. | ||||||||
