Description
This report summarizes the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) surveys during four cruises from
2012 to 2015 which characterizes the mesophotic coral reef ecosystems at Pulley Ridge and
Tortugas. This research is part of a grant funded by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal
Ocean Science award NA11NOS4780045: “Connectivity of the Pulley Ridge - South Florida
Coral Reef Ecosystem”. The University of Miami ship R/V Walton Smith was used along with
the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) Super Phantom ROV and the National
Marine Sanctuary Foundation (NMSF) Mohawk ROV. The cruises were a collaboration of the
University of Miami, HBOI-CIOERT, NOAA Fisheries, and the UNCW-CIOERT Undersea
Vehicles Program.
