							EX1905L2

Okeanos Explorer (EX1905L2): New England and Canada (ROV and
					Mapping) (EK60). This 21-day expedition leg will start in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
					on August 26, 2019, and end in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, on September 15,
					2019. The expedition will include 24-hour-a-day operations, including daytime
					ROV dives to depths ranging between 250-3,000 meters (~820-9,843 feet),
					overnight mapping operations to depths of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), as well as
					continuous shore-side participation via telepresence technology. ROV dives will
					focus on exploring submarine canyons and slope habitats, seamounts, deep-sea
					coral and sponge communities, midwater habitats, unique geological features, and
					other poorly known deep-sea habitats. Mapping operations will concentrate on
					seafloor and water column areas with little or no high-quality sonar data, as
					well as being used to support ROV operations and identify potential maritime
					heritage sites. Data collected on this expedition will support the development
					of habitat suitability models and geohazard models and enhance our understanding
					of poorly explored deepwater areas offshore of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic, New
					England, and Nova Scotia.

							EX1805

Singlebeam Collection for EX1805: East Florida Mapping
					(Telepresence) (EK60). From May 22 - June 6, 2018, NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer
					conducted mapping operations 24 hours per day using the ship's state-of-the-art
					suite of sonars focused on mapping the seafloor, the water column, and the
					sub-seafloor. This was the first part of the two-part Windows to the Deep 2018:
					Exploration of the Southeast U.S. Continental Margin expedition intended to
					increase our understanding of the deep-sea environment along the southeast
					United States. This is the first NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer expedition that will
					contribute to NOAAâs Atlantic Seafloor Partnership for Integrated Research and
					Exploration (ASPIRE), a major multi-year, multi-national collaborative field
					program focused on raising collective knowledge and understanding of the North
					Atlantic Ocean. Mapping operations were focused offshore Florida, Georgia, and
					South Carolina, in the South Atlantic Bight â and more specifically, the Blake
					Plateau â over some of the least explored areas along the U.S. East Coast. The
					data collected during the expedition provides baseline information in unknown
					and poorly known deepwater areas of the southeastern United States and will
					directly support remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dive planning efforts for the
					second part of this expedition, as well as the ongoing National Oceanographic
					Partnership Programâs Deep Sea Exploration to Advance Research on
					Coral/Canyon/Cold seep Habitats (DEEP SEARCH) project.

					include the use of the ship's deep water mapping systems (Kongsberg EM302
					multibeam sonar, EK60 split-beam fisheries sonars, Knudsen 3260 chirp sub-bottom
					profiler sonar, and Teledyne Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), XBT and CTD
					casts in support of multibeam sonar mapping operations, OER's two-body ROV Deep
					Discoverer and Seirios, and the ship's high-bandwidth satellite connection for
					continuous real-time ship-to-shore communications. Operations are planned in and
					around the US Gulf of Mexico and potentially the international waters of the
					Gulf.

Okeanos Explorer (EX1903L2): Mid and Southeast US (ROV and Mapping) - 2019 (EM302). Windows to the Deep 2019: Exploration of the Deep-sea Habitats of the Southeastern United States was a 38-day, two-leg, telepresence-enabled expedition on NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer to collect data on priority exploration areas identified by the ocean management and scientific communities. During the expedition, scientists explored a diversity of features with mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operations, including deep-sea fish habitats, deep-sea coral and sponge communities, midwater habitats, cold seeps, submarine canyons, submarine landslides, and other unique geological features.

EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During PC1802

The goal of the cruise was to gather additional data on habitat and fish assemblages in six of the South Atlantic MPAs and OECA as part of a long-term sampling program to document changes in these areas before and after fishing restrictions are implemented.  The southernmost boundary of our work areas was Port Canaveral, FL while the northern-most boundary was Cape Hatteras, NC. Efficacy testing of this management tool aids fishery managers in future use of area restrictions for the protection of valuable habitat and fishery resources.  Specific objectives included: 

â Daytime Operation: Conducted ROV transect surveys of habitat and fish assemblages and collections of corals and sponges during daylight hours. 
â Daytime Operation: Conducted total water column CTD profiles 
â Night Operation: Conducted multibeam mapping to find areas to dive on with the ROV the following day.  
â Night Operation: Conducted XBT casts to collect sound velocity data for the mapping.

ME70 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During PC1906

NOAA Ship Pisces conducted an acoustic mapping survey located on the continental shelf and shelf edge of the western SAB and eastern GOM from July 30th to August 13th, 2019.  Shipboard acoustic systems (Simrad ME70) were used to map selected seafloor features and ME70 configurations were set to those used during the SEAMAP Reef Fish Video (RFV) survey of the GOM.  Bathymetric mapping was used to increase the reef fish sampling universe and to close remaining gaps located on the shelf edge break. The cruise was conducted in this order:  

1) A patch test was conducted to test the positional accuracy of the ME70 on a known seabed feature located in the SAB.
2) All remaining time was used for 24 h mapping operations with the ME70.

A CTD cast was conducted at the beginning and end of each mapping area to obtain speed-of-sound for proper processing of data.
