Okeanos Explorer (EX1603): Hohonu Moana: Exploring the Deep Waters off Hawai`I
The ship will conduct 24 hour operations consisting of daytime
ROV dives and evening/nighttime mapping operations including during transit.
During this cruise we will conduct primarily 8 hour ROV dives with occasional 10
or 12 hour dives on particularly interesting or deep water dive sites, as
staffing allows. ROV operations will focus in depths between 250 and 6,000
meters and will include high-resolution visual surveys and limited sample
collection. Mapping operations will be conducted in 250m of water and deeper,
and include transit and overnight multibeam, water column backscatter, and
sub-bottom data collection. Opportunistic CTD rosette operations may be
requested to collect more information about the environmental parameters at ROV
dives sites, or opportunistically at selected sites where collecting the data is
considered important to understanding the physical or chemical properties of the
overlying water column. ROV and mapping operations will not be conducted in
state waters. Dive(s) will also be devoted to searching for ship’s lost during
the World War II Battle of Midway with an emphasis on finding the main wreck of
the Japanese Aircraft Carriers Kaga. Data collected by OER that is considered
sensitive will be protected from direct public release until such time as a
final determination can be made as to permanent protection. If data are found to
be sensitive because they reveal the location of a historically significant
cultural resource, Section 304 of the National Historic Preservation Act
provides that the head of a Federal agency or other public official shall
withhold from public disclosure information about the location, character, or
ownership of a historic property when disclosure may cause a significant
invasion of privacy; risk harm to the historic property; or impede the use of a
traditional religious site by practitioners. Data collected by the EX that is
considered sensitive will be archived in a location where it can be withheld
from public disclosure.
