On The Boat Again
Another DEEPEND Cruise is fast approaching! Gear is being gathered and packed for the drive up to Gulfport, MS and scientists are preparing for the trek out to the Gulf for 12 days at sea.
The team will arrive on the boat in Gulfport, MS for set up on April 21st and we set sail on midnight of April 22nd. Our plan is to collect samples from seven of our usual stations from 0 – 1500 m using the trusty MOCNESS net system. While this is our 10th DEEPEND cruise under NOAA RESTORE, this will be our first cruise under the second half of this long-term survey of the Gulf. We are thrilled to be continuing this cruise series and learning more about the deep ocean!
Stay tuned for blogs from students and scientists alike from our journey out to sea!
