NF-12-02-CSC BEAMS program (EK60)
The primary scientific goal of the cruise is to continue to gather multibeam sonar
data along the
continental shelf edge off South Carolina in the vicinity of Habitat Areas of Particular Concern
and Marine Protected Areas. This work contributes to the characterization of the extent, range
and variety of seafloor/benthic habitats along the continental shelf-edge.

Purpose | 1) Conduct multibeam bathymetric (and backscatter) survey to supplement and enhance previously mapped regions. At Bulls Scarp, conduct surveys and overlay with former Bulls Scarp survey data to determine movement (or lack thereof) of the sand waves. 2) Tow subbottom profiler to image near-surface materials. 3) Cross areas of appropriate depth with ROV and image regions that have habitat and fish information. 4) Collect bottom sediment samples to assist with ground truthing. 5) Measure currents with the ADCP to determine flow velocity and direction. |
