*NOAA Ship Rainier Surveying Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary *

October 6, 2017

NOAA Ship *Rainier*
<https://www.omao.noaa.gov/learn/marine-operations/ships/rainier> recently
arrived off the Santa Barbara and Ventura coast to complete hydrographic
surveys atNOAA's Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary.
<https://channelislands.noaa.gov/research/welcome.html> Over the next month
the 231-foot ship will deploy multi-beam and side-scan sonar to support
safe navigation and update nautical charts for the Channel Islands. In
addition to providing data for crucial nautical chart updates, this survey
will also generate backscatter data, which will be used in habitat mapping.
