Objectives | Williams-Mystic Spring 2017 Offshore Seminar. This cruise was the offshore sea seminar of the Williams-Mystic Maritime Studies' Spring semester. Sampling was conducted during our ~400 nm cruise track in the waters north of Puerto Rico, north of Culebra, in the British Virgin Islands, U.S. Virgin Islands, and in the Caribbean Sea. Students examined the physical, chemical and biological oceanography of this region through the various sampling methods. The ship had to return to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a medical evaluation and later made a planned stop in Francis Bay, St. John so the students could snorkel and see the national park. |
