Ocean News & Technology posted a story on how M&E successfully completed a sonar survey to map and monitor an artificial reef offshore Fort Pierce along the Treasure Coast of eastern Florida. The survey was done with an autonomous surface vessel equipped with a Velodyne lidar sensor, which provided mapping features above the water surface.
