Collecting Samples - ROV Sampling Techniques in Cordell Bank
During our survey of Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary our team used many of our sampling capabilites to collect specimens for further analysis. From long-standing workhorses, like the manipulator arm, to cutting-edge soft robotic technology, we used it all during this leg of the 2017 expedition season. Learn more about this expedition.
