Description
This cruise will embark from Balboa, Panama, will transit and
collect underway data through the Panama Canal toward the primary operating
area, will focus its scientific objectives on the project operating area in
British national waters in the vicinity of the Cayman Islands identified as the
Mid-Cayman Rise, and will transit to Key West, Florida. Underway data will be
collected during transit through all coastal states (with permits) with the
exception of Columbia and Cuba. Primary mapping, CTD and ROV operations will be
