Seaweeds & invertebrates of the NW Gulf of Mexico, Pt. 1

http://www.suzannefredericqseaweedslab.com/.
The hard banks of the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana at depths of 45-95 m harbor diversity-rich communities of marine macroalgae (seaweeds), macrocrustaceans, molluscs, and other invertebrates.

This dredging expedition on board the R/V Pelican (LUMCON) took place July 5th, 2003

The seaweeds include representatives of the red, green and brown macroalgae.

Collections were made on rubble and red algal nodules (rhodoliths) offshore Louisiana.

This trip was supported by DOE and LUMCON; D.L. Felder, PI; University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
