This cruise will continue CIOERT, NOAA, and FGBNMS objectives in the NW Gulf of Mexico (GOM) to characterize morphological, physiological, and molecular differences between shallow and mesophotic corals. Through sampling of the target species Montastraea cavernosa, this project will assess ecological connectivity, both locally and regionally, through evaluation of genomic molecular markers. These efforts will also address the efficacy of the deep reef refugia hypothesis (Glynn 1996), which posits that deep and mesophotic reefs less impacted by thermal and anthropogenic stressors can be sources of larvae to help repopulate degraded shallow coral reefs. The objectives will also include a reciprocal transplant experiment to track coral responses to changing environmental conditions over the next several years.

This cruise is to establish the FGBNMS as the final of three sentinel climate and ocean acidification monitoring sites of the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program?s National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) Six plots will be established for long-term monitoring of calcium carbonate budgets as well utilizing of landscape mosaicking of the reef substrate. Temperature sensors, bioerosion monitoring units (BMUS), Artificial Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS), Calcification Acidification Units (CAUs), and subsurface temperature recorders (STRS) will be deployed. Additionally, coral cores will be collected to ascertain long-term trends in coral calcification.

A key question in the marine and energy geosciences is how sand is transported from the river mouth across continental shelves and slopes to eventually be accumulated in significant volumes within deep sea fans.  Significant in this case is defined as volumetrically large enough deposits to serve as future hydrocarbon reservoirs.  One mechanism may be transport through incised river valleys during sea-level low-stands, temporary deposition in shelf-edge deltas, with possible winnowing over multiple sealevel cycles, and with subsequent remobilization via sediment gravity flows that traverse the slope to build fan systems.  To understand what factors critically control sediment routing and preferential sorting, we need to study fully preserved analogs for deepwater sands.  One such analog is the Pleistocene Rio Grande source-to-sink system and in particular the linkage between the known sandy deposits on the shelf edge and deepwater Rio Grande Fan.  We propose a high-resolution 2D marine seismic and mini-piston coring study of the shelf edge through upper fan to demonstrate our ability to image and core sandy intervals within the incised valley and slope canyon fill.  Cored sands will be radiocarbon dated and analyzed by U-Pb-He double dating to establish its age and provenance signature. Sedimentary structures and textures will be used to constrain transport and depositional styles associated with this large system.

NOAA, Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) staff and volunteer scientists will conduct surveys on SCUBA at the HI-A-389-A platform in accordance with Interagency Agreement # E14PG00057.  HI-A-389-A is currently a standing petroleum platform located within the East Flower Garden Bank (EFGB) boundaries, a component of FGBNMS.  SCUBA operations will include fish and benthic surveys from the surface to a depth of 40 meters (130 feet) on the platform. This survey cruise provides a baseline to compare information collected on a future cruise which will be conducted after the top portion of the platform has been removed.

This cruise will continue CIOERT, NOAA, and FGBNMS objectives in the NW Gulf of Mexico (GOM) to characterize benthic habitat and associated fish communities on sites in and near the FGBNMS.  In addition, through sampling of the target species Montastraea cavernosa, this project will assess ecological connectivity, both locally and regionally, through evaluation of genomic molecular markers.   These efforts will also address the efficacy of the deep reef refugia hypothesis (Glynn 1996), which posits that deep and mesophotic reefs less impacted by thermal and anthropogenic stressors can be sources of larvae to help repopulate degraded shallow coral reefs.

We will use the R/V MANTA and the Remotely Operated Vessel (ROV) Mohawk for 5 days at sea to localize and sample coral specimens from mesophotic habitats in the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, between 50 (150 ft) and 150 meters (350 ft). These samples will be preserved onboard for genetic studies. This cruise is part of the NOAA RESTORE Act project titled: �Population Connectivity of Deepwater Corals in the Northern Gulf of Mexico�.

"RV Manta - FGBNMS - FGBNMS-16-03-CIOERT_Tech_Diving.nc - 29.11N, 94.52W - 2016-05-03"

This cruise will continue CIOERT, NOAA, and FGBNMS objectives in the NW Gulf of Mexico (GOM) to characterize morphological, physiological, and molecular differences between shallow and mesophotic corals. Through sampling of the target species Montastraea cavernosa, this project will assess ecological connectivity, both locally and regionally, through evaluation of genomic molecular markers. These efforts will also address the efficacy of the deep reef refugia hypothesis (Glynn 1996), which posits that deep and mesophotic reefs less impacted by thermal and anthropogenic stressors can be sources of larvae to help repopulate degraded shallow coral reefs. The objectives will also include a reciprocal transplant experiment to track coral responses to changing environmental conditions over the next several years.
