,45 students participated in the Sea Education Association's "Science At SEA" program. They studied in Woods Hole for two weeks and then went to sea for seven days aboard either the SSV Westward or the SSV Corwith Cramer. While ashore, students took classes in oceanography, nautical science, and maritime studies. The material covered in these classes was designed to provide the student with the academic and practical background needed to function successfully aboard either of SEA's large sailing ships. Once aboard ship, the students would be required to help operate the vessel and, in a very real sense, conduct the scientific activities. The primary purpose of this report is to summarize the scientific aspects of the program as experienced by those students who sailed on the SSV Corwith Cramer.

This report documents the scientific activities on board the Royal Research Ship (RRS) James Clark Ross during the first Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT-1), 21 September to 24 October 1995. The ship sailed from Grimsby (England) for Montevideo (Uruguay) and then continued on to Stanley (Falkland Islands). The primary objective of the AMT program is to investigate basic biological processes in the open Atlantic Ocean over very broad spatial scales. For AMT-1, the meridional range covered was approximately 50◦N to 50◦S or nearly 8,000 nmi. The measurements to be taken during the AMT cruises are fundamental for the calibration, validation, and continuing understanding of remotely sensed observations of biological oceanography. They are also important for understanding plankton community structure over latitudinal scales and the role of the world ocean in global carbon cycles. During AMT-1 a variety of instruments were used to map the physical, chemical, and biological structure of th...
Physical Oceanography ATSEA Cruise Report
ATSEA Program, 2011
The Arafura and Timor Seas region is one of the last remaining hotspots of marine biodiversity in the world. The area has dynamic and diverse ecosystems which support one of the most important fisheries in Indonesia, the Arafura Trawl Fisheries. Further to the West, the Timor Sea serves as an important migratory path for many marine mammals which make their journey across the Pacific and through to the Indian Ocean in search for food. The emerging transboundary issues for the countries surrounding the Arafura and Timor Seas have become increasingly apparent. The regional cooperation involving Australia, Indonesia and Timor Leste neighboring the Arafura and Timor Seas is key to achieving the sustainable use of marine and fisheries resources in this area. I am pleased to present the 2 nd edition of ATSEA Cruise Report, which is a compilation of report activities conducted during the ATSEA Cruise in May 2010. This publication provides an important baseline to the description of this region, hence the development of Arafura and Timor Seas Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) and later the Strategic Action Programs (SAP). The ATSEA cruise is funded partially by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), as part of the TDA-SAP development of the Arafura and Timor Seas. Support from the Indonesia Agency for Marine and Fisheries Research and Development as well as from Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) for this cruise, made it possible for the R.V.Baruna Jaya VIII to complete a 17-day voyage covering 23 sampling sites. This has been a tremendous achievement by the scientists involved in the cruise and it is proof that they can work together collectively, and I congratulate them. I am very grateful for the participation of the scientists from BRKP, LIPI,

Cruise KOK0510 consisted of three Pisces V dives to the submerged flanks of Tutuila, American Samoa, specifically the coral reef platform of Taema Bank, and the submerged caldera forming Fagatele Bay and Canyon. In addition, a night-time program of Sea Beam 210 bathymetric mapping was conducted along the north side of the island to fill in a data gap from previous multibeam surveys in that region. Night-time deployments of the RCV-150 were also planned, but could not commence due to mechanical difficulties with the ROV. The overall objectives of the cruise were the characterization and groundtruthing of underwater features previously mapped in sonar, and for areas below the reach of SCUBA, the estimation of the amount of live bottom, the species identification of fish and invertebrates, and the assessment, where possible, of benthic change within the coral reefs encountered. These observations were made toward an ultimate goal of groundtruthing previous benthic terrain maps (geo) made in the region, as well as informing the preparation of future benthic habitat maps (biogeo). Research questions guiding the objectives include: (a) What are the significant deep-water coral reef habitats, relative to the territory's coastal ecology and current initiatives for sanctuary management (i.e.,
