Mid-Atlantic Bight - National Undersea Research Center (MAB-NURC)
NOAA's
Undersea Research Center for the Middle Atlantic Bight region (MAB)
seeks to understand the processes governing change and stability at
spatial and temporal scales not obtainable with conventional
oceanographic techniques. Since its creation in 1992, the Center has
focused on establishing Long-term Ecosystem Observatories (LEO's) that
enable multi-disciplinary science using in situ observations and
manipulations. At LEO-15, scuba and seafloor observatory studies have
described recruitment of fish and benthic invertebrates, and the
effects of waves and currents on sediment and pollutant transport,
seafloor characteristics, and benthic community dynamics. |
