Abstract:
This document contains descriptions of the methods used, analyses of field data collected, summaries of field notes, details of challenges faced, and significant observations made during 2020–2021 annual long-term monitoring of fish and benthic communities at Stetson Bank. Stetson Bank is an uplifted claystone/siltstone feature located 130 km southeast of Galveston, Texas within Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. It supports a productive benthic community of sponges and coral. Annual monitoring of the bank crest has been conducted since 1993. Surveys of the mesophotic zone surrounding the bank crest began in 2015.
