In this in-person workshop hosted by Delaware Sea Grant, sonar experts from the University of Delaware and Black Laser Learning Inc. will provide participants with presentations along with hands-on and boat-based experiences using a variety of side-scan sonar devices and post-processing software that focus on marine debris identification and removal applications. 

Attendees will view demonstrations of a variety of sonar devices and set up (Hull mounted side imaging, Garmin Livescope, Humminbird 360, etc.), practice using sonar displays, and become familiar with viewing and processing data recorded in the field.

Who should attend: Those who own a boat with a side-scan sonar device already installed OR willing to participate in the DESG/ UD Sonar Library to borrow and install a temporary transducer mount and mobile unit, AND an interest in removing derelict crab pots or marine debris from the sea floor bottom.
