ROV SuBastian Dive 393 - (Mid-water Survey) Northeast Fraser Island, Australia - FK200930
Join RV Falkor and ROV SuBastian for the first dive of the Northern Depths of the Great Barrier Reef expedition led by Dr. Robin Beaman and Mardi McNeil. Today we are exploring the water column 65 nautical miles (114 km) northeast of Fraser Island off the east coast of Queensland, Australia. Here we will descend through the water column to a depth of approximately 1200 meters.
We will be joined remotely by Dr. Dhugal Lindsay from the Japan Agency for Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC), who is collecting high resolution video imagery of water column plankton and soft-bodied jellies. Dr. Lindsay will use the data to understand the geographic distribution of these animals with depth and throughout the region.
