Description:This environmental data summary report provides visualization and interpretation of all shipboard CTD data collected during the SALT 2 expedition (PS-22-22) in May and June of 2022. The results of this assessment will be used to inform laboratory-based husbandry of gorgonian octocorals in the northern Gulf of Mexico mesophotic zone. This assessment will also be applied to in situ and ex situ coral propagation trials for benthic habitat restoration in the Gulf of Mexico. Parameters of interest for these applications include temperature, salinity, oxygen levels, and light levels. CTD sensor data will also be used to calculate in situ water column properties (mixed layer depth [MLD] and the 10% and 1% surface irradiance) of the mesophotic zone in areas such as the Pinnacles Trend and the head of DeSoto Canyon. The CTD data presented here are a preliminary set from a single expedition and a more comprehensive dataset will be generated as more MDBC cruises are conducted.
