This cruise report provides a record of academic and research activities conducted on C-136.
Oceanographic research on the cruise was almost entirely devoted to accomplishing individual
student projects as part of an academic program. The sea-going program is an extension of courses
conducted for six weeks on-shore in Woods Hole and emphasizes the application of theoretical
concepts to the study of the oceans.
The cruise track of C-136 was designed to study
and contrast oceanic environments and ecosystems. The oceanography of the Caribbean Sea was
well covered by two north-south and one east-west transect of the region. This coverage allowed
examination of the complexities of water flow into the Caribbean and its associated biology.
