                                  REPORT FROM ALASKA  (from 8/30/96 WRUSGS Bulletin)

                                  Dave Hogg, John Gann, Terry Bruns, and Paul Carlson joined forces

                                  with our new siblings from National Biological Service (NBS) and our

                                  cousins from the Park Service for a productive 10-day (8/1-10)

                                  sidescan-sonar (SSS) survey in Glacier Bay, AK. We collected 500 kHz

                                  SSS + 3.5 kHz profiler data in five portions of Glacier Bay National

                                  Park. The areas insonified are Dungeness Crab and Halibut study

                                  sites. We will provide seafloor habitat interpretations that the

                                  biologists hope will explain distributions of those two commercial

                                  resources. We were fortunate to be able to sample some of the very

                                  tasty resources as well. In one study area, to the biologists' glee, we

                                  obtained good imagery of a sunken skiff that the Skipper of the R/V

                                  Quillback identified as "Tommy's boat," and we also saw a pile of

                                  Tommy's crab pots a short distance away (overloading of pot +

                                  choppy seas = sinking). Bruns even saw the sun one day and realized

                                  his wish to see the eastern side of the Fairweather Range (beautiful view).
