SEA-FLOOR PHOTOGRAPHY FROM THE CONTINENTAL MARGIN PROGRAM:

A Pictorial Survey of Benthic Character and Habitats
Along the U.S. East Coast

Photographic Gallery of personnel, facilities and equipment from the Continental Margin Program

This unique model of the Atlantic Continental Shelf and Slope was built during 1964 by a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution - U.S. Geological Survey team. The model is patterned after a three-sheet map series of the shelf and slope, also prepared by the WHOI - USGS group, at the scale of 1 inch equals 16 miles. With vertical scale exaggerated, this view shows the ocean bottom contours around Florida and should prove to be a valuable reference tool to marine geologists and oceanographers.
