Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
this is a collaborative award to a film crew documenting the Science of the Spill, Mike deGruy and at least one other film maker will participate in the Fisher et al., Rapid Alvin cruise this December, using the equivalent of one dive (likely two shared dives to different sites) to obtain "spectacular footage" of potentially impacted communities in the vicinity of the spill. |
