Identifier 2003-049-FA
Alternate names P-1-03-MB
Purpose Recover partial moorings 705 and 706.
Location Monterey Bay Canyon Axis, California, United States, North America, North Pacific;
Summary 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.
