Viewing BOBSled

Scientists and technicians from the Woods Hole Coastal and Marine Science Center (WHCMSC) in Woods Hole, Massachusetts traveled to the Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center (PCMSC) in Santa Cruz, California to learn about their seafloor imaging and sampling instrument—the Benthic Observation camera Sled, or BOBSled. Gerry Hatcher, an ocean engineer at the PCMSC, spent the week sharing the knowledge he accrued over his long career and even provided the Woods Hole team with a fiber optic cable splicing training.
