Field Activity 2016-332-FA

Identifier 2016-332-FA
Purpose Collecting cores of coral-reef framework (drill coring)
Location Western Sambo and Sand Key Reefs, Lower Florida Keys
Summary Collected three Holocene reef cores from Western Sambo reef. Collected GPS data from two of the three core holes.
Info derived Trends in Holocene reef development
Projects
Platform
Halimeda
Twin Vee (Jabba Jaw)
22-ft Twin Vee This boat has a carrying capacity of up to 1500 pounds and up to 7 people and a shallow draft (9 inches empty). This boat's cat hull design results in a smoother ride in choppy water, at the expense of a slightly deeper draft. This boat is powered by two Yamaha 70hp motors.
Vehicles
Ford F-350 Dually White (GSA)
