Identifier 2022-320-FA
Alternate names 22CCT09; 22CCT10; 22CCT11; 22CCT12
Purpose To collect Single-beam bathymetry within Point Au Chenes Bay, MS
Location Point Aux Chenes Bay, MS
Summary Successful acquisition of single-beam bathymetry data was achieved during this survey.
Info derived Single-beam bathymetry x,y,z data points and create a current digital elevation model (DEM)
Comments 22CCT09 = Personal Water Craft (PWC) = RV Shark (white) collecting single-beam bathymetry 22CCT10 = Personal Water Craft (PWC) = RV Chum (blue) collecting Single beam bathymetry; Entries for this field activity are based on entries from Field Activity 2021-307-FA as the data collected is intended to be a repeat survey.
