Science Objectives | |
| Full 3-dimensional ocenographic characterization of 5-7 high-flux seep sites on the Costa Rica Pacific margin, with additional sampling of mobile fauna, chemosynthetic communities, infaunal macrofauna and microbial communities. Potentially a few additional dives to offshore seamounts and unexplored seep sites along the margin. | |

Science Activities | |
| Activities include Sentry and wire flyer characterization of the water column, CTD niskin rosette sampling, geochemistry from push cores, niskin samples on Alvin, mobile fauna collections, community collections using the custom Bushmaster and mussel pots, and carbonate transplants. We will need the elevator to accomplish all of our sampling objectives, particularly early on in the cruise when we are recovering and redeploying carbonate rock transplants. | |
