Summary of Field Work: |
Deploy concurrent passive acoustic and eDNA moorings over the course of 1 year to evaluate and compare abilities of the two sampling methods to detect a rare marine mammal species, the Gulf of Mexico Bryde's whale. Two passive acoustic moorings (HARPs) were deployed along the shelfbreak of the western Gulf of Mexico in August 2019 and will be recovered in August 2020. An Envirionmental Sample Processor (ESP) mooring to sample eDNA will be ready for deployment in February 2020, and will be recovered in June 2020. This specific ship request is for the ESP mooring deployment in February only. Work would require transit to the site at 93.3959502 deg W 27.67025873 deg N, approximately 2 hours for mooring deployment, and approximately 2 hours in the vicinity of the mooring for testing mooring equipment, then the return transit |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
An A-frame, crane, or winch or combination of such equipment to deploy the ESP mooring. Equipment must have the ability to deploy 2000-2500 lbs anchor at 250m depth. Winch or crane should have sufficient cable to lower the anchor to within 25m of the 250 m seafloor. Bunk space for 3-5 scientists for up to 3 day trip. Sufficient deck space for the mooring deployment. |
