The First Cruise of 2019

Cruise 1 of 2019 is complete! We were out from January 18 until February 24, surveying between the South Carolina/Georgia border and the entrance to the Chesapeake in Virginia (see our tracklines below). While we were hampered by bad weather, we gathered lots of fantastic data! We can’t wait for the second cruise starting in April!
