Summary of Field Work: |
We request a UNOLS vessel to conduct work at Ewing Bank and Sackett Bank, which are located at the edge of the continental shelf in the NW Gulf of Mexico. The proposed project needs to obtain the following types of
information and samples: CTD profiles and discrete seawater samples; biological samples, i.e. rhodoliths and associated macroalgae to be obtained by ROV; and ROV visual observations of in situ targeted samples. The samples of seawater, rhodoliths, and sediment will need to be processed on board ship. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
ROV with collecting and video capabilities, CTD/Rosette system with 20 L Niskin bottles |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We are very familiar with the R/V Pelican and its crew and have used the ship very successfully in the past when collecting rhodoliths offshore the NW Gulf of Mexico. |

Cocodrie, LA, USA |
None |
Cocodrie, LA, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
The Cocodrie LUMCON port is the most relevant one since it is closest to our requested proposed cruise area and because we are very familiar with the port from previous cruises |
