Data Set Description: This is a subset of the Deep Sea Coral Research and Technology Program’s National Database.The goal of the 7 day mission aboard NOAA Ship Bell M. Shimada (Shimada) was to survey priority seafloor locations within and adjacent to Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS; Figure 1). Specific research objectives included: (1) conducting standardized quantitative visual transects of various seafloor habitat types in and around the Olympic 2 Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) Area using remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Beagle, an undersea robot owned and operated by Marine Applied Research and Exploration (MARE), (2) conducting CTD casts and plankton surface trawls using bongo nets in areas adjacent to four OCNMS long-term oceanographic moorings, and (3) recovering and re-deploying an acoustic mooring (Noise Reference Station 03, or NRS03) just outside OCNMS in 950m of water depth in lower Juan de Fuca Canyon.
