Summary
Recovered 2 benthic chambers in Hingham Bay (Station 8) and collected 3 diver-collected push cores. The benthic chambers were previously deployed by WHOI scientists W. Martin and J. Goudreau on 6/16/04 from the RAFAEL (HB-0604). Core 8-3 had pre-installed fins for erosion chamber experiment. Cores 8-1 and 8-2 were shorter. All cores were retained by WHOI.

Comments
Drysuits will be necessary in the cold water. Due to shallow water depth (~20 feet), NITROX will not be needed. Original Center People field contained: Barry Irwin (boat operator), Michael Casso and Chuck Worley (divers).
