Description:
This document contains project instructions for EX-18-03. Operations for this cruise will be

conducted 24 hours/day and consist of daily remotely operated vehicle (ROV), overnight

mapping, and full shore-based participation via telepresence. The expedition will

commence on April 11, 2018 in Pascagoula, Mississippi ( 30° 20.355'N, 88° 34.499'W) and

conclude on May 3, 2018 in Key West ( 24° 33.856'N, 81° 48.007'W). Operations will

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.
