Instructions for NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN” present complete information
for this cruise.
Area:
General geographic area (Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska,
Shelikof Strait, etc).
Itinerary:
Departure date, deparure port
Arrival date, arrival port
Participating organizations:
NOAA - Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC)
NOAA - Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL)

CRUISE DESCRIPTION:
Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations
(FOCI) is an effort by NOAA and associated academic scientists. At
present, FOCI consists of a Shelikof Strait (western Gulf of Alaska) walleye
pollock project, and a NOAA Coastal Ocean Program project: Southeast Bering
Sea Carrying Capacity. FOCI also supports associated projects, such
as the Arctic Research Initiative, U.S. GLOBEC and North Pacific Marine
Research Program, that address scientific issues related to FOCI's mission.
FOCI's goal is to understand the effects of abiotic and biotic variability
on ecosystems of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea in order to discern
the physical and biological processes that determine recruitment variability
of commercially valuable finfish and shellfish stocks in Alaskan waters.
CRUISE OBJECTIVES:
List the objectives of the cruise as they pertain
to the program. (This section is not necessarily a list of operations).

The Chief Scientist has the authority to revise or
alter the technical portion of the instructions as work progresses provided
that, after consultation with the Commanding Officer, it is ascertained
that the proposed changes will not: (1) jeopardize the safety of personnel
or the ship; (2) exceed the overall time allotted for the project; (3)
result in undue additional expenses; (4) alter the general intent of these
project instructions.
