Although much of the trench lies within the U.S. EEZ, surprisingly few surveys have been conducted there during the past 25 years. This data set shows the tracklines (navigation path) of the U.S. Geological Survey science cruise that was conducted in the year 2003. Purpose: To show the navigation path used during the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) science cruise of the Puerto Rico trench area.
