Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Successful restoration of mesophotic and deep benthic communities (MDBC) impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill requires knowledge on the distribution, abundance, and status of these communities. Only a small fraction of mesophotic and deep benthic habitats in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) have been surveyed using mapping and ground-truthing methods. Furthermore, existing predictive habitat models that characterize the distribution and abundance of MDBC need to be validated. Knowledge of MDBC habitat requires coordinated mapping and ground-truthing campaigns, whose data feed into predictive habitat models that guide further investigation and restoration activities. We convened a workshop series with subject matter experts to present on, discuss, and address gaps in criteria for sensor selection, standards for operations, and best practices to help develop a coordinated mapping, ground-truthing, and modeling approach. The workshop series occurred in December 2021 and consisted of three coordinated sessions for mapping, ground-truthing, and modeling that collectively reviewed the state of the science, identified information gaps, and defined suggested approaches. |
