| Objectives: | Obtain samples of the sediments on the Mississippi-Alabama shelf, the central Tampa shelf, and the Florida Strait slope in order to confirm areas of reported phosphate concentrations. Obtain high-resolution data on the Mississippi-Alabama shelf and the southern shelf (south of 26 degrees). Obtain drill cores of the central shelf area and southern reefs. Obtain a suite of piston cores on the central shelf. |
