Research operations with the Oregon Department of Fish and
Wildlife included 6 days of rock fish survey work using a
Video Lander on a grid pattern over Stone Wall Bank and
Heceta Bank off of the Oregon Coast.  It involved launching
and recovering a video system which was mounted on a crab
pot frame.  For this process we used a power crab block with
an extended reach articulating davit & our line coiler which
allowed the Video Lander to come up and aboard safely
beyond the side of the boat during the recovery process.
