2.0 CRUISE OVERVIEW
2.1 Cruise Objectives The primary objective of Cruise MF-02-11 is the recovery and deployment of moorings near Chiniak Bay, Barnabus Canyon, Gore Point, and the Global Ocean Ecosystems Dynamics (GLOBEC) Line running south of Seward, Alaska.
Upon completion of the mooring operations and Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System (MOCNESS) tows around Station 02GB-3, there will be a Touch-and-Go in Seward, Alaska, for the purpose of disembarking all mooring personnel and embarking two to three PMEL scientists to complete Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth (CTD) profiler casts. To save time this personnel change may be accomplished using small boat operations.
After the transfer of personnel, CTD profile stations will be occupied as we work our way back from Seward, Alaska, to Kodiak, Alaska. The remainder of the cruise will then consist of CTD profiles with water bottles for nutrient sampling. CTD operations will consist of an intensive grid of stations along Kenai Peninsula, the Gore Point Line, and lines of stations over Portlock Bank and Stevenson Trough, south of Portlock Bank. If time allows, Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction Program (MARMAP) Bongo tows will be completed at select mooring locations.
2.2 Applicability - These instructions, with FOCI Standard Operating Instructions for NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN, dated April 8, 2002, present complete information for this cruise.
2.3 Operating Area Gulf of Alaska, and Barnabus Canyon to south of Seward, Alaska.

3.0 OPERATIONS
3.1 Data To Be Collected
3.1.1 Scientific Computer System (SCS) - The ship's SCS shall operate throughout the cruise, acquiring and logging data from navigation, meteorological, oceanographic, and fisheries sensors. See FOCI Standard Operating Instructions for NOAA Ship MILLER FREEMAN (SOI 5.2) for specific requirements.
3.2 Staging Plan Equipment will be shipped to Kodiak, Alaska, and loaded aboard the ship Tuesday, September 24, 2002. Equipment will include two (2) 5,000-pound and sixteen (16) 1,800-pound anchors and miscellaneous mooring hardware and accessories. The MOCNESS and sample preservation equipment will remain on board from the previous cruise MF-02-10. See Appendices, Section 9.1 Equipment Inventory.
3.3 De-staging Plan Upon completion of this cruise, FOCI requests that equipment remain on board during the transit to Seattle, Washington, and offloaded after arrival.
3.4 Cruise Plan Attached is an orderly listing of the mooring sites we intend to occupy. A standard mooring site operation will include a CTD cast prior to a mooring recovery and a CTD cast following a mooring deployment. During operations around Station 02GB-3, two daytime and two nighttime MOCNESS tows will be accomplished. We will utilize the stern mooring deployment platform as well as the port deck crane for over the side mooring operations.
Upon completion of the mooring operations there will be a touch-and-go in Seward, Alaska, for the purpose of disembarking all mooring personnel and embarking two to three PMEL scientists to complete CTD profiler casts. To save time this personnel change can probably be accomplished using small boat operations.
The locations of the CTD stations will be prioritized based upon the time remaining after the mooring operations are complete. The remainder of the cruise will then consist of CTD profiles with water bottles for nutrient sampling. CTD operations will consist of an intensive grid of stations along Kenai Peninsula, the Gore Point Line, and lines of stations over Portlock Bank and Stevenson Trough, south of Portlock Bank. If time allows, Marine Resources Monitoring, Assessment and Prediction Program (MARMAP) Bongo tows will be completed at select mooring locations. The cruise will end in Kodiak, Alaska, on Wednesday, October 9, 2002.
