      Purpose The Okeanos Explorer will operate 24-hour multibeam and singlebeam mapping surveys over a 3,937 nautical mile transit over the western extent of the New England Seamount Chain, including the following seamounts: Balanus, Bear, Buell, Mytilus, Physalia, Panulirus, Picket, Retriever, Asterias, Atlantis II, Gosnold, Kelvin, Kiwi, and Sheldrake in accordance with requests from the scientific community. Additionally, survey mapping will complement existing data collected as part of the US Extended continental shelf program, and was designed in consultation with ECS scientists.
