NOAA Ship Nancy Foster deploys from Key West on Thursday for a 10-day mission in the waters of the Florida Keys, Marquesas and Dry Tortugas. The 187-foot vessel, one of the most operationally diverse platforms in the NOAA fleet, will survey fish aggregations and capture seafloor images as scientists focus on the connection between the network of marine reserves within the NOAA Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
