Cindy Van Dover: Chief Scientist, Principal Investigator Duke University Marine Laboratory 135 Duke Marine Lab Rd Beaufort, NC US 28516 +1 252 504 7655 clv3@duke.edu

Departure: May 17, 2011
Bridgetown Barbados
Arrival: May 20, 2011
Bridgetown Barbados
Operations Area
Barbados Accretionary Wedge
Lat/Lon: 11° 14.0′ N / 59° 22.0′ W
Depth Range: 1000 / 2200
Will the vessel be operating within 200 NM of a foreign country?	Barbados
Are visas or special travel documents required?	no
Science Objectives
Preliminary science activities at 3 Barbados seep sites (El Pilar, Orenoque A, Orenoque B) on the accretionary wedge for return visit to sites with DSRV Alvin in May-June 2012.  Part of the Seep Connectivity Project funded by NSF to investigate historical and contemporary linkages among Barbados, Gulf OF MExico, and Blake Ridge seep species.
Science Activities
At each site: 1) Sub-bottom profiling to locate seep areas 2) MOCNESS tow for larval sampling 3) Deep-water (35 m HOB) mooring deployment (current meter, 2 sediment/larval traps per mooring) 4) Bone/wood package deployment
