Description

This is an interagency study that focuses on the exploration and investigation of deepwater hard bottom biological communities located in the northwest Atlantic Ocean offshore Virginia and Maryland. Some soft bottom work will also be included. The study area is correlated with information needs associated with future potential offshore leasing of the outer contenental shelf in the mid-Atlantic region, initially, the federal offshore area designated to the Commonwealth of Virginia.
