Dates to Avoid: |
Due to teaching obligations, the earliest we could leave is May 19th, and the last day of the cruise would have to be before August 9th. It's listed as 14 science days, but this is total days including mob, demob and transit. Still determining final ports and number of mob and demob days. |

 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances
|
|
Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
|
No |
If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office?
|
No |
| Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |

Pensacola, FL, USA |
None |
Pensacola, FL, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Pensacola is closed to our proposed dive sites. However, we're trying to coordinate back to back cruises with another user of the Global Explorer on the Pelican, and could also leave and return to Gulfport as well. |

|
Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
In the best of all possible worlds, have all of these assets would be great. However, the Global Explorer has worked off ships without dynamic positioning, and we can get excellent multibeam data recorded on the RV Okeanos expedition to our study sites as well.

Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems. |
We have been in contact with Deep Ocean Systems to ensure the availability of the Global Explorer ROV for the proposed cruise dates (funding for the Global Explorer is part of the proposal), as well as to ensure that they can work off the Pelican. The cold van is required for maintenance of live animals collected from deep depths to be used in laboratory studies of vision and bioluminescence. |
