Cruise Report C-209 : Scientific Data Collected Aboard SSV Corwith Cramer, Key West, FL – Samana, Dominican Republic – Port Antonio, Jamaica – Key West, FL, 13 February – 22 March 2007

Abstract

This cruise report provides a summary of scientific activities aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer during cruise C-209 (13 Feb - 22 Mar 07). The 2785 nautical mile cruise served as the second half of a 12-week, semester program with Sea Education Association (SEA), during which extensive oceanographic sampling was conducted for both student research projects (Table 1) and the ongoing SEA research program. Students examined physical, chemical, geological, biological, and environmental oceanographic characteristics in accordance with their written proposals and presented their results in a final poster session and papers (available upon request from SEA). The brief summary of data collected and results of student research projects contained in this report are not intended to represent final data interpretation and should not be excerpted or cited without written permission from SEA.
