[Coral-List] Coral Survey using ROV

[Claire Mosiun]

Hi,

Has anyone done a marine habitat survey at 80m using an ROV. I have been looking for methods on the net but have yet to come up with a clear-cut method.

At the moment we will be dropping the ROV at a point and making random transects from the point at the same time taking video for later analysis and stills of anything interesting.

Has anyone got any references to good methods for coral surveys at this depth.

Thanks,

Claire Mosiun
