In 2014, the sanctuary expanded from 448 to 4,300 square miles, making it the nation's largest marine protected area (MPA) focused on underwater cultural heritage sites. Within this new boundary are 93 known shipwreck sites, while historic research indicates as many 100 additional sites remain undiscovered. The diverse geography throughout the expansion area, however, poses a challenge to traditional survey and site assessment techniques. Shallow, remote shorelines and shoal areas limit access from the water and preclude use of conventional vessel-deployed underwater survey tools. Similarly, little is known about the deeper bottomlands within the sanctuary's offshore expanses. Standard archaeological survey tools, sonar and marine magnetometer, offer a limited view of these areas. This project sought to develop innovative, technology-centered, and repeatable methodologies for locating and rapidly assessing cultural sites in shallow (less than 20 feet) and deep water (greater than 130 feet) areas. This project experimented with cutting-edge equipment and techniques. The deepwater survey segment involved looking for the historically significant wreck of steamer Choctaw, while the shallower survey focused on known "ship traps", determined via analysis of the region's coastal geography and historical use. Funding for this project was provided by NOAA Ocean Exploration via its Ocean Exploration Fiscal Year 2016 Funding Opportunity. This dataset contains field images and video taken by uncrewed aerial systems, scientific divers, and a remotely operated vehicle during project fieldwork May-August 2017 in Presque Isle County, Michigan. Data was acquired to support project goals identified in the abstract.

Northwestern Michigan College processor repository NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 unclassified none asNeeded R/V Storm (R5002) R5002 Storm is used to support the science missions, dive operations, and multi-beam/side scan for the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. It is a former Coast Guard Patrol vessel and was also used as a Training Vessel for the US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, NY. The vessel was transited from New York Harbor to the Great Lakes in the fall of 2009. After undergoing a major overhaul at GLERL's Lake Michigan Field Station during the winter of 2010, Storm was transferred to Alpena, MI in the spring of 2010. The vessel was also retrofitted with a moon pool to house survey sonar heads. Additionally, the vessel carries a Klein 3000 side scan sonar, T-count instrumented sheave and survey grade Trimble DPGS positioning system. The Storm has limited overnight accommodations for up to 4 personnel. R/V Storm (R5002) Research Vessel R/V Laurentian (R8001) Laurentian is GLERL's largest research vessel. It is capable of long duration and heavy lift operations and is a very versatile platform for sampling, surveys and deployments. There is extensive deck machinery, laboratory space and on board accommodations that can be adapted for various projects, as well as a moon pool for hydro acoustics or survey capabilities. Additionally, Laurentian runs almost exclusively on bio fuels and bio lubricants. R/V Laurentian (R8001) Research Vessel
