Objectives | Our cruise track traversed the Lesser Antilles, following similar cruise tracks from previous SEA Semester Caribbean Reef Expeditions. We collected physical, chemical, and biological oceanographic data with 38 individual deployments from 23 discrete geographic stations along our cruise track. While the major theme of this SEA Semester was examining the seawater chemistry and biology of coral reefs located in the Lesser Antilles, oceanographic data was collected along our cruise track and compared to data from cruises C276 (2017) and C283 (2018) to study changes in oceanographic features over time. |
