Notes:                            * Co-PIs:
                                  Penny Chisholm/MIT, chisholm@mit.edu
                                  Ed Boyle/MIT, ?
                                  * Stations will be occupied for extended
                                  periods. Drogues to be tracked when on
                                  station.
                                  * Flow cytometers will dominate the main
                                  lab and require 208V, 3ph, 50amp service.
                                  * 20' lab van in addition to the isotope
                                  van will be aboard. Position and
                                  power/water requirements of this van need
                                  to be determined.
                                  * Berthing van is NOT required.
                                  * Deck incubators require running SW.
                                  * Boyle to tow a small fish over side.
                                  Requires a pivoting tow boom to get
                                  10'-15' clear of hull.
