During the project we characterized two open ocean eddies: one cyclonic and one anticyclonic in the waters south of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi in the Central North Pacific Ocean. We conducted CTDs with water collection for nutrients, chlorophyll, and eDNA, we conducted net tows to quantify and describe the zooplankton and micronekton, and to collect genetic voucher specimens. Throughout the project we intermittently collecte EK80 and ADCP data. **Just a note: The ADCP data was not continuous on this cruise, as we had to toggle between collecting ADCP and EK80 data. So ADCP was collected during station operations, and EK80 while we transited between stations. The TS data was collected continuously.
