DAY 5 (July 16, 2012)
We
finished the A transect a few hours ago and have begun an along-slope transect
in the mid-shelf area to try to piece together paleoshoreline structures that
are key hard bottom structure in the region. We have crossed the shorelines on
several zigs and zags. With those points, combined with the previous multibeam
maps by Gardner/USGS, we will try to connect some dots. Seas are 1-2 ft and
calming more.

We
continue to work the mid to outer shelf looking for interesting structure/habitat.
It is a big area to try to sample with a 500 m swath.
