Summary of Field Work: |
Three cruises to sample larval distributions, collect brood stock, and deploy/recover bottom collectors and instruments near cold methane seeps in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Continental Margin. The goal is to determine the depths where larvae disperse, to inform biophysical models of connectivity, and to determine if larval processes limit the transport of seep larvae around the Florida peninsula. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
All three cruises will use Alvin or Jason, and two of the cruises require Sentry with the SyPRID plankton sampler for precision sampling of larval populations in the water column. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
On the ship, we need laboratory space with sufficient seated table space to accommodate up to 10 people with microscopes. One of two cold rooms to hold samples while they are being sorted, and cultures of embryos for the duration of the cruises. Fume hood for fixation of samples with glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and DMSO. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We require Alvin or Jason plus Sentry, so Atlantis is the ship of choice. Dates are chosen to correspond with the reproductive seasons of several important target species at methane seeps. This cruise is the longest of the program. We estimate that 21 science days are required to deploy equipment at 3 sites in the Gulf of Mexico and 3 in the Western Atlantic, plus sample plankton and collect benthic samples. |

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Gulfport, FL, USA |
None, |
Morehead City, NC, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Gulfport is near the first station (Brine Pool) and the last station is in Baltimore Canyon, from which several potential ports could serve as an ending point, including Morehead City (most convenient for offloading near NC team's institution). If the ship is in transit to WHOI, Woods Hole would be a suitable alternative. |
