Dates: September 05, 2001 to September 12, 2001

Chief scientist: Dave Twichell

   Robert Halley, USGS-St. Pete; Al Hine, USF

Objectives: Use sidescan sonar, multibeam bathymetry, and high-resolution seismic data to map the geologic framework and distribution of deep water reefs west of the Florida Keys. An ROV was used to video the deep-water reef to determine extent and composition of benthic biota.

Type of Activity: Seismic profiling; Sea floor mapping;Sea floor mapping

Information to be derived:

Summary: Cruise ended early due to World Trade Center terrorism and tropical depression forming in the study area.
