| Underwater Remote Sensing Survey of Naval Station Pascagoula
|
| A review of the past cultural environment and an underwater
remote sensing survey of proposed expansion at Naval Station
Pascagoula, including a multi-beam bathymetric survey, a sidescan
sonar survey, and a magnetometer survey. Targets of potential
interest were selected by evaluating the characteristics of sidescan
features and magnetic anomalies recorded during the surveys. A
high-resolution bathymetric contour map was produced. Thirty-two
acoustic targets detected by the sidescan sonar and thirteen
magnetic anomalies detected by the magnetometer were identified,
positioned, and plotted on bathymetric and magnetic field strength
contour plots. The targets and magnetic anomalies are discussed for
significance. Six acoustic targets and 3 magnetic anomalies were
identified as warranting further investigation and identification.
Diver relocation and evaluation for these targets are recommended. Client: US Army Engineer District Mobile Reports: |
