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: Deepwater characterization of the Mid and South Atlantic Bight Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Caitlin Adams, NOAA/OER Project Institution: NOAA/OER
Project ID: 105717 Version #: 4
Date Submitted: 2/23/2017 10:56:00 AM Created By: Caitlin Adams
Date Last Modified: 6/12/2018 2:08:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NOAA/OE - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: A combination of ship, AUV, and deepwater ROV operations to investigate and characterize shelf edge and slop habitats generally offshore of Virginia to Florida/Georgia border.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Combination of regional and global class vessels, deepwater ROVs, and deepwater AUV. May include bottom trawl, mid-water nets, CTD, and benthic lander deployments.
Summary of other requirements and comments: OER intends to use a combination of UNOLS and NOAA facilities to support project platform requirements.

Repeating Cruise?

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: N/A
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
This is a request for year three of an expected three-year interagency project. OER is still working to secure ship time on either the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown or an equivalent vessel for this cruise in summer 2018. The FY19 NOAA ship schedules will not be decided until Spring 2018. This is an initial request for awareness that will be refined as we know more.
