Cruise Notes: Discovery of an unexpected bloom on Georges Bank during our 2007 field season (EN435 and EN437) has caused us to revise our sampling plan for 2008. Rather than two 15-day cruises of the entire Gulf of Maine / Georges Bank region, we would like to undertake monthly surveys of Georges Bank starting in late April / early May through August. The shoreside logistics of this plan will require that these cruises be run in and out of WHOI. Optimum dates are:

May 1-8, 2008
May 27 – June 3
June 27 – July 3
August 1-7
