KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -  Pictured is equipment that will be used on an undersea expedition to characterize the condition of the deep-sea coral reefs and reef fish populations in the Oculina Banks, a marine protected area, 20 miles offshore of the east coast of Florida. Scientists on the team will be deploying an underwater robot, a seafloor sampler, and the Passive Acoustic Monitoring System (PAMS).  Dr. Grant Gilmore was co-principle investigator of the PAMS,  originally developed by NASA to monitor the impact of rocket launches on wildlife refuge lagoons at KSC.   The research is sponsored by NOAA Fisheries and will take place onboard the Liberty Star.  The ship departed from Port Canaveral April 29 and will return May 9. KSC-03pd1377
