CRUISE SUMMARY: MBNMS PROJECT
|
|
In late August and early September, the Monterey Bay National Marine
|
|
Sanctuary (MBNMS) project conducted two very successful 10-day back-to-
|
|
back cruises on the continental shelf between Carmel and the Golden Gate.
|
|
The first was a sampling cruise out of Moss Landing aboard the R/V Point
|
|
Sur, a UNOLS vessel. The second was a very high resolution seismic-
|
|
reflection cruise aboard the NOAA ship McArthur. During the sampling
|
|
leg, we recovered 175 box cores, grab samples, and bottom photographs
|
|
out of 226 sampling attempts. The samples were located at sites specified
|
|
by EPA's EMAP design criteria and represent the last of the statistically
|
|
sited coring for the MBNMS project. The geophysical leg was designed
|
|
to delineate the three-dimensional spatial distribution of areas of
|
|
sediment erosion, deposition, bypass, and outcrops within this shelf
|
|
region. We used the newly remodeled HUNTEC system to collect approximately
|
|
1400 trackline-km of very high resolution boomer data (centered in the
|
|
2-kHz to 2.5-kHz range). The system performed beautifully and provided high-quality data, at times to subbottom depths exceeding 100 m. Walter Barnhardt, Brad Carkin, Hank Chezar, Justin Friesner, Kaye Kinoshita,
|
|
Greg Martz, and Rebecca Preston, along with various MLML and UCSC
|
|
personnel, endured the grueling 12-hour coring watches with good cheer.
|
|
Roberto Anima was co-chief, and Kaye Kinoshita, Rebecca Preston, and
|
|
Glenn Spinelli provided support during the geophysical work. We conducted
|
|
the cruises at a time when MARFAC was hard pressed with the BASIX III
|
|
operation. Fred Payne served ably as both ET and MT during the sampling
|
|
leg. Fred Payne, Mike Boyle, and Graham Standen (GEOFORCE tech) got to
|
|
play with the HUNTEC system during the geophysical leg. I thank MARFAC
|
|
and particularly Fred and Mike for their help in making both these
|
|
cruises successful.- Brian Edwards
