"A collaborative oceanographic mission between Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the EU-funded Horizon 2020 SponGES (Deep-Sea Sponge Grounds Ecosystems of the North Atlantic: an integrated approach towards their preservation and sustainable exploitation) project took place between August 31 and September 7, 2017 on the Canadian Coast Guard Ship (CCSG) Martha L. Black. During this mission sampling was conducted in Emerald and LaHave Basins on the Scotian Shelf, where dense sponge grounds formed by the glass sponge Vazella pourtalesi occur. Over the course of this mission a total of 20 operations were conducted, the data from which will serve to provide insight into this species’ basic biology (reproduction, population genetic structure, and growth), biogeochemical cycling, environmental setting, and on the impacts of anthropogenic activity and ability to recover from disturbance. This report provides the details of each operation and data collected"--Abstract, p. iv.
