    Purpose This project builds on past research and monitoring in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) and focuses on connectivity between the network of marine reserves in the Dry Tortugas region, including the connections between populations of fish in the waters of the Florida Keys, Marquesas, Dry Tortugas National Park (DRTO), the Tortugas Ecological Reserve North (TER-N) and spawning habitat at Riley's Hump (RH), located within the Tortugas Ecological Reserve South (TER-S), and surrounding reef habitats including areas such as Warsaw Hole. The purposes of the cruise are to (1) collect video images using an Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) along transets of bottom features of interest identified from past multibeam seafloor surveys; (2) collect multibeam bathymetry in gap areas, partly to aid in location features of interest for subsequent ROV work; and, (3) conduct observations and maintenance of an acoustic array in and near the study areas.
