Expedition Dates: July 26 to August 1, 2021
From July 26 to August 1, 2021, a multi-institutional science team set sail aboard the R/V Point Sur from Gulfport, Mississippi and headed towards DeSoto Canyon. The objectives of this mission, funded by NOAA Ocean Exploration, were to deploy two different autonomous sensor platforms developed as part of this project: National Geographic Society’s Driftcam and the Teledyne Webb Research Slocum glider. During this cruise we focused on areas that have been studied extensively during the DEEPEND|RESTORE program in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM).
