Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Unfortunately, despite substantial planning, the cruise was cut short due to NOAA medical/personnel issues. However, 3 days of operations were conducted which included CTDs (7 casts), ROV (3 ROV science dives) and AUV (3 AUV surveys) dives and deployment of the wave glider in addition to select number of specimens for isotope and eDNA analysis. ROV dive annotations have been completed by T. Laidig.
