| Research Experience: | Sea floor survey of the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary |
| Research Objectives: | The purpose of the cruise is to continue research on the biologic, geologic, and human-induced processes that affect benthic habitats in the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary off Boston, Massachusetts. Long-term study sites, located both inside and outside an area closed to fishing, represent a variety of seabed habitats, including mud, sand, gravel, and boulder ridges. The sites are monitored annually using video and photographic techniques, and sampled for invertebrates living in and on the sediments. |
| Research funded by: | NOAA's Stellwagen Bank NMS, U.S. Geological Survey (Coastal and Marine Geology Program), Pfleger Institute of Environmental Research, and National Undersea Research Center at the University of Connecticut. |
| Host Researchers: | Page Valentine - USGS Woods Hole & Betsy Grannis - University of Maine |
