The Eastern Margin survey (TAN0713, GA survey #2436) to the Capel and Faust basins and Gifford Guyot was conducted on the Tangaroa between 7 October and 22 November 2007 in collaboration with staff from New Zealand's National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), Fugro Robertson Inc., and the University of the Sea. The voyage was operated through the Offshore Energy Security Program, with the principal aims of exploring deep-sea habitats and processes on a subsided marginal plateau and submerged guyot and examining the underlying geology as an assessment for petroleum potential of the basins. A total of 42 video transects (each approx. 1 hr in duration) were surveyed and 6,229 still photographs acquired in water depths of 259-2,260 m. Video footage was recorded on mini DV tapes, and copied to digital format. Video snippets were also created of representative habitats for some stations. Video and image files or associated parent folders are named according to station number, followed by CAM and then the deployment number. For example 37CAM35 represents a video transect from Station 37 that was the 35th video transect on the survey. For further information on this survey please refer to the post-survey report (GA Record 2009/22 - Geocat #68630) and GA Record 2009/26 (Geocat #69358).
