Along with this piece of equipment, an Applanix POS MV\u00a0Oceanmaster will allow for accurate position and orientation information during mapping surveys.<\/p>\n

The echosounder will be pole-mounted to the Florida Institute of Oceanography’s (FIO) vessel, R\/V\u00a0Bellows,\u00a0<\/em>which will be used throughout the mapping portion of this project. Because of the Seabat 7125’s high ping\u00a0rate and ability to map at relatively swift speeds (5.5-6.5 knots), we anticipate that up to 70 km2<\/sup>\u00a0can be mapped in one day at a depth of 40-m, or 94 km2\u00a0<\/sup>per day in 60-m of water, and so on.<\/p>\n

For our first major survey cruise,\u00a0we traveled out to an area known as The Elbow<\/a>\u00a0(right). This is a popular\u00a0fishing spot and as such we expect there will be areas with extensive reef fish and sea turtle habitat (below).<\/p>\n
