Cruising completed for DP11

Hello, everyone!  

Heather J. here and wanted to share that DP11 is officially completed.  Everyone started making their way home with samples and gear yesterday. 

Overall, the cruise went well for us even with a few hiccups due to weather and the water pump.  The Pt. Sur crew was amazing as always and our science team worked well together to get our goals accompished for this cruise.  We thank the NOAA RESTORE Program for their continued support as we have one more RESTORE cruise next year which will be the last of this grant cycle.

Here's a few photos to give you an idea of our time at sea!
