is on hard substrate habitats, with some work related to soft bottoms and within the water column also included. Approximately 18 days of ship time for the initial cruise in 2017 and up to 24 days for each of the subsequent research cruises in 2018 and 2019 aboard NOAA-research vessels (e.g. NOAAS Ronald H. Brown), will be provided to the program by NOAA OER. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) or autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) will also be available from NOAA OER for all three cruises. The overarching goal for this project is to augment the ability to predict the location
