Florida Shelf Edge Expoloration IIFrom September 12 to September 30, 2011, members of NURTEC's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations team collaborated with the Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research and Technology (CIOERT) and partner scientists aboard the NOAA vessel Nancy Foster to conduct an undersea exploration of Florida's deepwater coral ecosystems. The objectives of this expedition were to survey these shelf-edge habitats and assess abundance and diversity of reef fishes, corals, and other associated invertebrates. While some areas were revisited from previous years, the team also explored new sites along Pulley Ridge and Pourtales Terrace. More info |
