Summary of Field Work: |
We plan to survey Haiti continental waters: along the Baie de Port au Prince and along the southern coast of the Canal de Sud in water depths extending from the shoreline to ~300 -350 m. We propose a 21 day survey (~16 days of survey and 5 of transit) to make shallow water multibeam maps, acquire coincident and targeted sidescan, chirp (0.5-12 kHz) profiles, and conduct sediment sampling.
With respect to assistance with permissions, we have strong connections the Haitian Ministry of Mines and Energy Resources and to chief of the UN mission. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
1. We propose to lease a portable multibeam bathymetric sonar to be mounted on a pole alongside the ship. The system we are considering is the Reson SeaBat 8101ER. That system is a 240 kHz system capable of comfortably mapping seafloor as deep as 300m (technically, as deep as 450 m).
2.we will tow a side scan sonar system, a Klein 3900, includes a 100m-long cable, a GPS, and a motorized winch if needed.
3. we will also tow an Edgetech 512 Chirp sonar
4. we will conduct sediment sampling: gravity coring; multicoring to recover sediment-water interface; grab; small dredge. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Required:
The multibeam needs to be mounted on a pole.
It is critical to have a sampling device to recover the sediment water interface.
Will it be possible:
to have Boston whaler or zodiac put on the Endeavor and
carried into the area with an outboard motor to use a small portable chirp?
This would allow very close to the coast chirp survey including the small
bay near Petit Goave and the lateral spread features near Grand Paradis that
have carried trees 50 to 100 m into the water. |
