• Description:
  This environmental data summary report provides visualization and interpretation of all shipboard conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) data collected during eight expeditions aboard three vessels between October 2021 and 2023—five aboard R/V Point Sur, two aboard R/V Pisces, and one aboard R/V Pelican. The expeditions characterized biotic and abiotic aspects of the mesophotic zone on the Texas–Louisiana Continental Shelf, Mississippi–Alabama Continental Shelf/Slope, and West Florida Continental Shelf. The results of this assessment will be applied to in situ and ex situ gorgonian octocoral propagation trials.
