Oceanographic Conditions of Bowhead Whale Habitat

Hi I'm Cody from Macon Early College, what is the shallowest point and the deepest point you have sampled out in the water?

Hi Cody! The shallowest water we sampled was about 4 meters I believe (the researchers are sleeping but I believe that was the shallowest without looking at the specific data). In the very shallow area we only sampled with the CTD. At the water got deeper we began to use our plankton nets. The deepest area sampled was over 180 meters!
