The DR is maintained as a field unit product, therefore all information and recommendations within this report are considered preliminary unless otherwise noted. The final disposition of survey data is represented in the NOAA nautical chart products. All pertinent records for this survey are archived at the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and can be retrieved via https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/. Products created during office processing were generated in NAD83 UTM 17N, MLLW.

Florida; and 4) characterize the boil and plume, and ambient currents from the six treated-water ocean outfalls off of southeastern Florida using advanced instrumentation. The ocean outfalls include Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Hollywood, Broward, Miami North, and Miami Central. The FACE program is a multi-year partnership of NOAA/AOML and other federal agencies, state and county ecosystem management agencies, county governments, municipal water and sewer authorities, and public environmentally concerned citizen groups. The FACE project originated as a NOAA response to the needs of government agencies and water and sewer authorities in south Florida that were challenged by ecosystem management problems. These groups are interested in NOAA’s capabilities that might assist them in ecosystem management problems. The science effort for the cruise represents interests from a wide range of interested parties from NOAA, the University of Miami, and various state and water-treatment organizations. There were no products created for this survey. Verified tides were applied to the data where possible. This report does not include data acquisition and processing information. There were no DTONs created for this survey. NOAA Ship Nancy Foster https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/ships/nancy_foster/NF-08-03-FACE_mb.html The survey is partially adequate to supersede previous data.
