Research Charter Vessel Services for Louisiana Manta Rays project

Vessel charter services for UAV project work with focused efforts on the area around the mouth of the River. The proposed work is to utilize unoccupied aircraft systems to search for and detect manta rays in the coastal waters around the West Delta and Southeast Pass of the River in Louisiana and to deploy satellite tags on said mantas for habitat use, movement, and connectivity studies. Due to the nature of these areas, flights will be performed from a small shallow draft vessel.The SEFSC requires contractor research vessel charter and support services.
