To assess the macro benthic ecology of drill cuttings material using time lapse cameras. Procedure MRV Scotia will depart from Aberdeen Harbour at 09:00 hours on 28 April and, after all safety drills have been undertaken, make passage to the decommissioned Murchison platform. The nature of the survey work will be heavily dependent on the prevailing weather conditions encountered and a daily plan will be agreed between the SIC, Captain and Fishing Master. The survey techniques are no different to previous similar surveys conducted by MSS using MRV Scotia. |
