The Coral Reef CSI Workshop
Schedule: The following is the tentative
schedule for the workshop. You’ll note that it’s intens=
ive
and strongly field-based. Another thing you may notice is that
we’re trying to provide you with experience using Diver Propulsion =
Vehicles
(DPVs), as this new technology holds special promise for assisting in large-scale
underwater investigations which otherwise would be impeded by time,
remoteness, personnel or size of impact. Satu=
