ROV Teacher Workshop
Join NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary Program and the Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center, along with the Marine Technology Society’s ROV Committee, for the 2004 National Student ROV Competition that will take you on a mission of sanctuary-related science and exploration. The Straits of Florida near the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary is the setting for challenges that include navigating an unknown reef, identifying a shipwreck, measuring depth and temperature, collecting biological and geological samples, and recovering lost scientific equipment. Dive into our national marine sanctuaries and come explore “Mystery Reef” with us!
