Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: This activity was a continuation of Menlo's 07/26/05 activity when instruments were not able to be recovered. With WHSC divers, moorings 793, 794 and 795 were recovered on 08/16/05. The far north site was buried under 1 m of sediment. Instruments at sites to the south were on the bed surface but had release failures.

Project = Coastal Geologic Processes and Long-term Environmental Change in the Northeast U.S., Coastal Geologic Processes and Long-term Environmental Change in the Northeast U.S. 3/13/2020 notes from Marinna to VeeAnn: Kurt Rosenberger or Joanne Ferriera will know more. PJ Barnard is Patrick Barnard from Santa Cruz. Not our PJ. We probably loaned instruments, I recognize some numbers. Hence my name. We did not give personnel support to this project as I remember. Mike may have handled some samples in the lab here.
