Description:

"This project is the second year of a multi-year project to evaluate the importance of these banks as habitat for corals and fish populations. Previously, we studied Sonnier Bank (approximate location: 28°20'N, 92°27'W) in 2004, and the aim of the 2005 survey was to expanded efforts on Sonnier as well as initiate research on McGrail Bank (approximate location: 28°20'N, 92°27'W). As part of this, we have completed an extensive side scan sonar survey of McGrail Bank in order to characterize and map habitats. We were also able to re-survey key areas at Sonnier Bank to enhance existing sonar data and facilitate habitat characterization. In addition, SCUBA and ROV surveys of the benthos and fish communities at Sonnier Bank were expanded in 2005. The fish community in the areas observed in the previous year was relatively stable in composition and abundance, but that there were prominent differences among bank locations"--Summary.
