Summary
|
|
A surface marker was placed on the sampling site and served
|
|
as a useful physical reference for deployment of the camera and
|
|
sampling gear. A few minutes of video of the sea floor at station 8
|
|
were collected to confirm the absence of biological mats or
|
|
disturbance from anchor, lobster pots, etc. The bottom looked ideal
|
|
for sampling. Six good cores were collected. Bottom water was also
|
|
collected for TSS, oxygen, and for the erosion and incubation
|
|
experiment.

Notes

Navigation technique: GPS.
|
|
The TIOGA met us in Hewitts cove at 0930 hrs after travelling
|
|
from Woods Hole that morning. We were back at the dock with all
|
|
samples about 1300 and back at the lab in Woods Hole at 1505. The
|
|
dive took place just after high tide. Currents on the ebb at this
|
|
site were very weak, somewhat of a disadvantage for diver
|
|
visability. The weak currents were predicted by Rich Signell s
|
|
model, which he kindly ran before the cruise.
