Expedition
Abstract: For this project, we had planned to conduct a series of deep exploratory dives within the sanctuary, and adjacent to but outside the sanctuary, conducnting both videotape surveys (inside the sanctuary boundaries) and rotenone collections (outside the sanctuary boundaries). Unfortunately, unfavorable weather conditions permitted only a single deep dive during the expedition period. However, during this single dive an important list of new discoveries were made - rendering the expedition a success. Moreover, videotape images taken during the dive provide for important "ground-truthing" data for a related project, the FBNMS GIS Data Archive. Acknowledgements This project was made possible through support from the U.S. National Marine Scanctuary System, and could not have been possible without the superb logistical support provided by Nancy J. Daschbach of the FBNMS. Special thanks Dawn Wright, who provided valuable GIS bathymetry plots and related data. |
