Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 40, No. 2, Pg. 16:
The Oceanic Flux Program (OFP) sediment trap mooring is four kilometers long and consists of three sediment traps, deep sea floats, dual acoustic releases and a communications buoy. The buoyancy along the mooring string is carefully engineered to keep the mooring vertical and to ensure that it comes up tangle free when recovered.
