Seaplow on back deck

Seaplow sitting on the back deck of the TE SubCom Dependable. The seaplow is deployed from the ship and used to bury the cable in the seafloor. All portions of the cable from the shore to a distance of about 1 km (.6 mile) seaward of the 700-fathom (4200-feet) Essential Fish Habitat boundary (EFH) will be buried.
