The "Deepwater
Program: Northern Gulf of Mexico Continental Slope Habitats and
Benthic Ecology" (DGoMB) program is funded by the Minerals Management Services
(MMS).The program is intended to provide information to the MMS
to develop a better understanding of the deep-sea areas that will
be potentially impacted by current and future exploration and
production of fossil fuel reserves in the deep water Gulf of Mexico,
defined as the area with water depths from 300 to 3000 meters
and mostly in the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the United
States. The study is focused on areas that are most likely to
be the target of future resource exploration and production. Cruise 2 Sample Locations - (click on station )
