Transect Meanders

Located on the middle portion of the continental shelf off the coast of Charleston, the Transect Meanders were discovered using sidescan sonar in 2004 on Leg 02 of the Transect Program.
College of Charleston undergraduate students returned to the site in November 2006 and January 2008 to map the region using multibeam sonar from aboard the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster.
