The R/V Donna M





Another day of AUV/ROV operations. This time aboard the Donna M.


Dr. Doug Levin operated the ROV, in search of sponge communities.
I was assigned to work with the ROV as tether maintenance crew.


Hey Dad! Look what I caught!

TIDE Goes Aboard The R/V Sharp

On Monday, the 13th, I was able to join the TIDE program on the R/V Sharp, the University's research vessel.







We conducted an AUV mission, ROV operations, dredges, and a Conductivity Temperature Depth (CTD) scan. The voyage was to the New Jersey side of Delaware Bay. The day was a success in many ways.
