Today we made three ROV dives on the West Florida Shelf, roughly 100 miles off the west coast of Florida... The object was to conduct a fish survey with respect to species presence and abundance as a function of bottom habitat types. Essentially, we were looking for good hard-bottom fish habitats within an area being proposed to the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council as a new Marine Protected Area (MPA).Read the blog post
