Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Fired releases on tripods at both USGS sites, but no floats were sighted on surface. Fired releases at WHOI tripod site, but no floats were sighted on surface. No tripods were recovered. Performed CTD casts. Tripods were actually recovered on Nov. 9 by divers (2009-076-FA).
