Note
The primary objectives of the cruise were to gather additional data on habitat and fish assemblages within and adjacent to six of the South Atlantic Grouper/Tilefish MPAs (Snowy Wreck, Northern South Carolina, Edisto, Charleston Deep Artificial Reef, Georgia, and North Florida) and inside the Oculina Experimental Closed Area (OECA) as part of a long term monitoring program to document changes in these areas before and after implementation of fishing restrictions.
