The combined federal\/state team, working with their resources and experts, then contacted NOAA for assistance.\u00a0After a series of consultations, Coast Survey and the state\u2019s team of archaeologists planned to use various imagery resources to look at the possible historical site. The NRT, which is conveniently based in Fernandina Beach, Florida, has multibeam and side scan sonar capabilities that could be deployed in the field effort.<br \/>\nThe Florida and Coast Survey teams met last week in the Sarasota area. Working on the water for two long days, the NRT\u00a0and the Historical Resources experts obtained high-resolution data and imagery across the site. With the data in hand, Florida can pursue future efforts to preserve the site and protect its artifacts.\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_169509\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-169509\" style=\"width: 1912px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-169509\" src=\"https:\/\/noaacoastsurvey.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/03\/img_0422.jpg\" alt=\"NRT and FL team\" width=\"1912\" height=\"950\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-169509\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The NRT and the State of Florida archaeologists depart for survey operations.
