Currently, there are better maps of the surface of the moon and Mars than the sea bottom off Florida's coastline. A unique, deep-sea expedition using cutting-edge autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) will create high definition sonar maps of the coastline of Florida's rare and vulnerable deep sea coral reefs for the first time.
