Exploration and Characterization of Fine-scale Physical-biogeochemical Environment over Deep Coral Reefs on the West Florida Slope using Integrated ROV-lander-sensor Systems
We have limited understanding of how the variability of carbonate chemistry and other environmental conditions surrounding deep-sea corals are critical for their long-term adaptation and survival. This project involves a comprehensive multidisciplinary study to explore and characterize two deep coral habitats with contrasting benthic communities on the west Florida slope of the Gulf of Mexico, including the testing of newly developed sensors deployed on an ROV to map and fully resolve the carbonate system at the sites. Additionally, two newly developed landers equipped with state-of-the-art sensors will be deployed at the two sites over 6-8 months to capture fine-scale temporal variability (hours) of carbonate chemistry and other key parameters. This study will be the first to document such fine-scale variability around deep reef systems in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Funding for this project was provided by NOAA Ocean Exploration via its Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2018 Funding Opportunity.
