Cruise 2 aboard the Ferrel from April 6 - April 20 to conclude the mapping, deploy ARGOS drifters, conduct gear impact studies on the west Florida shelf. Cruise 3 - 4 weeks duration either side of the 4th of July week will implement the detailed benthic assessments at the permanent transects in Tortugas North, assessments of spawning aggregations at Tortugas South, herbivory studies, and detailed seafloor mapping of deeper areas of the reserves using SSE subs (their cruise dates aboard the Gordon Gunter may correspond with ours) and/or NURC Phantom S-2.
