Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Education Cruises for SIO294 Biology of Fishes and SIO 184/284 Marine Invertebrates class. Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Greg Rouse, SIO Project Institution: SIO
Project ID: 102789 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 2/2/2011 1:09:00 PM Created By: Greg Rouse
Date Last Modified: 2/2/2011 1:09:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: INST/UCSD/SIO - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We propose a two 1 day cruises on the RV Sproul to introduce students to different aspects of oceanographic research and to provide samples for laboratory study during shore-based part of the course. For the (primarily) Biology of Fishes day there will be a series of 4 otter trawls at different depths east of the Coronado banks. For the (primarily) Marine Invertebrates day there will be an oblique plankton haul, (2) an otter trawl near the Coronado banks, (3) a midwater (IKMT) trawl west of the Coronado banks.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Plankton net with 333 mesh net, mid water trawl (IKMT); otter trawl.

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We propose a two 1 day cruise on the R/V Gordon Sproul to introduce students to different aspects of oceanographic research and to provide samples for laboratory study during shore-based part of the course. The first day cruise (proposed for Saturday Feb 26), will mainly have the Biology of Fishes course SIO 294 students (some Marine Invertebrates students will go to maximize the science party):
Station 1: 32 °42’51” N, 117 °24’ W Otter trawl at 400 meters depth
Station 2: 32 °41’ N, 117 ° 23’ W Otter trawl at 250 meters depth
Station 1: 32 °38’53” N, 117 °20’17” W Otter trawl at 100 meters depth.
If time permits a 4th trawl will be done.

Day 2 Feb 27 will focus on Marine Invertebrates students (though Biology of Fishes can go as well) (1) oblique plankton net haul, (2) an otter trawl near the Coronado banks, (3) a midwater trawl (IKMT).
Station 1: 32 40 N, 117 20W (water depth ~120 m)
Oblique plankton net haul while steaming toward Station 2.
Ideally we would use a plankton net with 100 or 333 mesh (we will supply)
Station 2: 32 40 N, 117 23W to 32 40 N, 117 24W
Otter trawl (we will provide net; P. Zerowfski ) while steaming toward Station 3
Station 3: 32 40 N, 117 32W
Midwater trawl ~ 800 m.
