On or about 1 October 2011, your vessel being ready for sea and weather permitting, you will depart Woods Hole, MA on Voyage #476. Upon completion of the science activities, the vessel shall call at the port of St. George's, Bermuda on or about 13 October 2011.
The scientific objectives of this cruise will be to collect settling and suspended particles at three locations on the northwest Atlantic margin to determine carbon transport from the shelf/slope to the deep basin, coupled with physical oceanographic data from moorings at Line W.

The sediment traps attached to these moorings collected particles drifting down through the water, for studies by WHOI research specialist Steven Manganini (far right in photo).
