Our goal is to research significant biological/geological resources in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. We plan to investigate ecology of oil seeps and hydrate systems. Data gathered on the cruise will be used to fulfill partial objectives of Stability and Change in Gulf of Mexico Chemosynthetic Communities Program (CHEMO), sponsored by Dept. of Interior, Minerals Management Service, Gulf of Mexico OCS Regional Office.
