Marine Geophysical Survey (MATRIX) by the US Geological Survey in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) prepared an EA that analyzed the potential environmental impacts of conducting a seismic survey aboard the oceanographic research vessel R/V Hugh R. Sharp, owned by University of Delaware, in the northwestern Atlantic offshore of the Mid-Atlantic Bight. DOE, which would provide partial funding, adopted the USGS EA as DOE/EA-2090.
