Item Information

snippet: We work in partnership with other federal agencies and coastal states to conduct assessments of ecological condition and potential stressor impacts throughout our Nation’s estuaries, coastal-ocean waters, and NOAA protected areas; carry out studies to determine environmental impacts of specific pollution events or natural disasters; and perform additional related research to develop new ecological indicators and improved diagnostic tools to assess, predict, and manage future conditions. We conducted a series of offshore surveys onboard the Nancy Foster to assess ecological conditions and stressor impacts through benthic and sediment sample analysis. We also collected benthic images and video clips for groundtruth validation.

These images are from 2015. These images and video clips were taken for groundtruthing purposes during multiple cruises on the Nancy Foster in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Sediment grabs were taken at each location and benthic samples were analyzed in a lab later.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
