Summary
|
Moorings recovered: 3(#786,788 deployed #05022 MARCUS HANA
May 18-19, 2005; 792 deployed #05025 ARGO MAINE Jun 6-8, 2005.)
Mooring deployed: 1(#805, recovered #06003 MARCUS HANA Feb 8, 2006.)
All moorings successfully recovered. A small tripod re-deployed for
February pickup. Cores collected from long term Mass Bay stations 3
and 2. SCUBA divers collected Horse Mussels (Modiolus modiolus)
from rocks (not in sediment) from MWRAs station T-4 on a drumlin
south of the outfall. On day 2, 5 cores were taken from station 8
in Boston Harbor and 1 hour was spent using the ROV with recorded
video surveying the bottom in President Roads off Deer Island
(80-100 m water depth) in search of additional mussel beds. No
living specimens were found. Some empty horse mussel shells suggest
that further surveying might be productive.
