Cruise Objective:   CTD Measurements & Hydrography Sampling
Science Activities: CTD measurements plus hydrography for salinity and
                    oxygen.
                    Four short sections in the vicinity of the operations
                    areas
                    specified above. Each section will consist of 5-7
                    stations
                    with depth down to 3000 m or the seafloor -- whichever
                    comes
                    first. Some additional water samples will be frozen for
                    onshore
                    nutrient analysis. We will require the center beam data
                    from
                    the SeaBeam unit for station positioning.
