Overview

This project will use AUV Sentry to map areas of interest to the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) in American Samoa. The project will focus on collecting high-resolution bathymetry, backscatter, and sidescan sonar data to assess the potential for seafloor mineral resources. The project will operate for four days as an addendum to a previously awarded expedition.
