The FKNMS and NCCOS contracted the Undersea Vehicles Program out of University of North Carolina in Wilmington, NC to investigate the habitats found in depths deeper than 20 m in certain parts of the sanctuary. The ROV was piloted on many dives on banks in the Marquesas and the western edges of Tortugas Banks and Rileys Hump in the FKNMS. All of these regions have habitat features of interest that are too deep to dive on SCUBA. The SubAtlantic Mohawk 18 collected video images along transets of bottom features of interest identified from past multibeam seafloor surveys and identified habitat types along these features. The ROV collects georeferenced video and digital still photography. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This shapefile contains still images and associated coordinates collected from 19 dives conducted during the Nancy Foster Cruise NF 1707, July 27-August 5, 2017. Over 400 still images were collected characterizing the habitat and bottom type of each area documented by the ROV in the FKNMS. This effort is part of a larger initiative to describe habitats and fish communities found in depths greater than 20 m for future management decisions.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
