The NOAA stands for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and they map, protect, and manage the waters while updating older nautical charts
The sonar echo allows the ship to collect information from the sea floors by emitting 3500 pings; however the intensity of the sonar echo can tell if the sea floor is hard, soft, sandy, coral, or other soft plants.
The R.O.V helps the scientist by understanding the sonar data, by sending videos and still images which eventually all is combined.
These studies are important to society because we need to know what lies beneath our ocean floor, as well as methods of preservation.
