Objectives are to: 1) perform multibeam mapping of transitional and deepwater habitats in Hudson Canyon (off New Jersey) with the National Institute of Undersea Science and Technology (NIUST) AUV Eagle Ray. About one half of the shelf portion of the canyon was mapped with Eagle Ray between 2007 aboard Ronald H. Brown and 2008 aboard Henry B. Bigelow. We seek to complete the mapping of the shelf segment of the Hudson Canyon on this cruise; 2) perform visual ground truthing of areas up to 1,000 m deep in Hudson Canyon using the NIUST AUV Mola Mola. In particular, we will be investigating ravines in canyon walls mapped by Eagle Ray for vulnerable deepwater coral and sponge communities, tilefish pueblo villages, and suspected areas of methane blowouts in the canyon bottom for vulnerable chemosynthetic communities. Such vulnerable communities may be at risk due to overlap with deepsea red crab, witch flounder, and/or monkfish distributions. The intention is to detect and locate vulnerable communities and also to gain experience for development of protocols for further exploration for vulnerable deepwater habitats in canyon and slope areas; 3) perform a series of CTD/rosette sampler casts down the canyon to a maximum depth of about 1,200 m in the canyon axis. This will provide a near-synoptic, 3-dimensional view of water mass interaction around Hudson Canyon and allow collection of water samples at multiple depths for dissolved methane analysis. The latter will help resolve the source of elevated methane previously detected in deep water within Hudson Canyon. Possible discovery of a local seep raises the possibility of a chemosynthetic community supported by that feature; and 4) collect ME70 multibeam sonar data for purposes of benthic mapping in order to resolve some issues encountered during summer 2008 cruises for that purpose.
Benthic and demersal mapping of the Hudson Canyon area using acoustic and optical technology.

The Simrad EK60 Scientific Sounder system is a new generation fishery researchtool, based on experience from the EK500. The new electronic hardware is combined with up to date PC processing and Windows operation. The EK60 provides facilities for accurate echo sounding, data storage, data analysis and reporting results. The system communication is through Ethernet, which gives flexibility in the location of the EK60 system units and allows easy access to data from other instruments or stations on a vessel network. A post processing software, BI60, is also included in the EK60 system.

Simrad ME70
multibeam
The Simrad ME70 is a high resolution scientific multibeam echo sounder
with very low sidelobe levels. It is dedicated for collection of data in the water
column. The multibeam echo sounder combines the large and flexible sampling volume of
the multibeam swath with the accuracy of the quantitative scientific echo sounder. A
bathymetric option is also available to provide a high resolution seabed mapping
capability, and the possibility to study the fish habitat.
