Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Moorings recovered: 2 (#705 and 706 deployed FA 02057 POINT SUR Dec. 5-7, 2002). Moorings 705 and 706 recovered on this trip, the bottom instrument package and release lost due to release failure, the rest recovered. Mooring #704 broke free about 10 days earlier and was recovered by Marla Stone of the Naval Postgraduate School (FA 03056 SHANA RAE Nov. 19, 2002). The wire failed above the bottom instrument package and release and thus those were lost on this mooring also.
