Smart Tether Used in Bathymetry, Biotope Survey In Saudi Arabia

摘要

Submerged Recovery and Inspection Services (Seattle, Washington) assisted this summer King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in using a VideoRay (Phoenixville, Pennsylvania) Pro4 ROV to complete more than 200 kilometers of bathym- etry and biotope survey transects in the Red Sea. The goal was to gain a baseline assessment to see if there were any critical habitat areas in or near several proposed oil-well drill sites.
