Purpose
|
|
We used a mini-Phantom ROV and a towed camera sled (both owned by
|
|
Florida State University collaborator, Dr. Chris Koenig) to collect video data
|
|
in the Madison Swanson Reserve to use in conjunction with previously collected
|
|
sidescan and multibeam data for habitat characterization.
|
|
|
Information to be Derived
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
Video data were collected at thirteen sites within the Madison-Swanson
|
|
Reserve. One site was occupied using the ROV and twelve using the towed camera
|
|
sled, made by Chris Koenig. The sled was towed along the bottom at about 1 kt.
|
|
for about 3/4 mile at each site, with a forward-looking video camera running
|
|
continuously. Video quality was very good to excellent at all sites except one
|
|
(Site 13) where a focussing problem occurred. Original objectives included work
|
|
in the Steamboat Lumps Reserve, but weather conditions forced the work to be
|
|
stopped before we could go there. We will attempt to finish the work in
|
|
November 2003.
