Dates to Avoid: |
The start dates include transit time.
One of the PIs is only available to be onsite Oct 20-26 and then after Nov 30.
The timing for days on site will have to match that constraint. |

 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 |

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.) |
We will be working within Virgin Islands National Park. We have permits for the research itself but I do not know if we will need clearance for both the work and the ship, as the park is officially closed.
We will also need permission for the Walton Smith to tie up to the 100' mooring available in Lameshur Bay. |
