Description:NOAA continued ongoing work in CINMS between April 27th - May 12th, 2017 by acquiring fish, deep-sea coral and seafloor data using the Shimada’s ME70 and EK60 sonars, the Office of Coast Survey’s REMUS- 600 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), and the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Beagle from Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE,) supported by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER). The data collected included high definition still images and videos from the ROV transects, acoustic imagery from sonar, and biological samples of deep-sea corals. This new information helped build on the ecological baseline of the benthic habitats within CINMS and informed natural resource managers with valuable input for the next revision of the sanctuary’s management plan.
