Abstract:
"Research objectives: 1) characterize and quantify economically important fish populations at Sonnier Bank to support evaluation of this area as essential habitat; 2) map benthic habitat characteristics on a finer scale than what is currently available for Sonnier Bank and characterize benthic coral communities; 3) develop approaches with ROV that can be used to study deep structurally complex areas that are inaccessible to SCUBA and that can be applied at other banks in the Gulf of Mexico"--P. 2.
