Summary of Field Work: |
Three cruises to sample larval distributions, collect brood stock, and deploy/recover bottom collectors and instruments near cold methane seeps in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Continental Margin. The goal is to determine the depths where larvae disperse, to inform biophysical models of connectivity, and to determine if larval processes limit the transport of seep larvae around the Florida peninsula. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
All three cruises will use Alvin or Jason, and two of the cruises require Sentry with the SyPRID plankton sampler for precision sampling of larval populations in the water column. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
On the ship, we need laboratory space with sufficient seated table space to accommodate up to 10 people with microscopes. One of two cold rooms to hold samples while they are being sorted, and cultures of embryos for the duration of the cruises. Fume hood for fixation of samples with glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde and DMSO. |

 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?

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Morehead City, NC, USA |
Port Everglades, FL, USA |
Gulfport, MS, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Morehead City is a convenient place to mobilize, as it is near one of the PI institutions. The cruise should end in Gulfport, near the GOM sites, before steaming through the Panama Canal for work in the Pacific. We request a short personnel change mid-cruise off Port Everglades. |
