09/08/2014,00:07:05,Scott France,I wonder how many Paragorgia colonies were here at one time? Others may have been washed away with sediment slump, etc.
09/08/2014,00:07:17,Scott France,leavig just this one

09/08/2014,00:07:44,Scott France,On the offshore seamounts we'll see Paragorgia - a different species - on flat surfaces.
09/08/2014,00:08:28,Tim Shank,no apparent associates here
09/08/2014,00:09:29,Scott France,Well said Jamie.
09/08/2014,00:10:02,Scott France,Exactly!
09/08/2014,00:10:20,Scott France,The lucky colonies that are in just the right spot...
09/08/2014,00:10:26,Tim Shank,Do you think that the presence of the large Paragorgia here could also a testimony to the capability of the holdfast to locate more permanent rock below….?
09/08/2014,00:10:56,Tim Shank,….and perhaps the variability of success in that process so that these are the last ones standing....
09/08/2014,00:11:26,Tim Shank,Thank you Jamie, yes

09/08/2014,00:12:43,Tim Shank,that is, on the lower pink colony
09/08/2014,00:14:42,Tim Shank,Male red crabs are considered mature at 4cm carapace width….
09/08/2014,00:15:16,Tim Shank,Fisheries say they can take red crabs from 280m to 924m……
09/08/2014,00:15:22,Scott France,Tim - why the absence of the associated Asteroschema(?) on these Paragorgia?
09/08/2014,00:17:20,Tim Shank,The associates on Paragorgia appear to vary more than almost all other corals.  Some are dominated by ophs (like parts of the G of Mex), Shrimp (as in some canyons) to amphipods (in indonesia)….. varies so much
09/08/2014,00:19:08,Tim Shank,The lack of any associates is always difficult to understand…you have issues of specificity of course but that on top of a lottery affect, differences in regional species pools, predation in certain regions… hard to explain exactly.  But you knew that my lasagna eating friend...…:-)
09/08/2014,00:19:40,Scott France,Don't tell them about my lasagna!!
09/08/2014,00:19:55,Scott France,I like the lottery hypothesis idea...
09/08/2014,00:20:13,Scott France,…which is what makes the Metallogorgia association so amazing. 
09/08/2014,00:20:24,Tim Shank,Amazing what it means to be in the right place at the right time…..or not be...
09/08/2014,00:20:46,Scott France,Yup. Kinda like us right now watching these dives instead of being born 100 years ago.
09/08/2014,00:20:50,Tim Shank,Metallogorgia association is truly amazing- and it's GLOBAL.  Simply AMAZING
09/08/2014,00:21:35,Scott France,Deserves a ot more research attention. How do they find each other?
09/08/2014,00:21:51,Scott France,I hope we get an opportunity to discuss this on air when we get to the seamounts.
09/08/2014,00:21:59,Tim Shank,I'm on it.  Want to know.  WE WILL DISCUSS.
09/08/2014,00:22:23,kaseycantwell,Scott - you will be the one controlling what we talk about!
09/08/2014,00:22:39,Scott France,lol! I'm giving you a preview!
09/08/2014,00:22:45,Tim Shank,Hey Kasey.  
09/08/2014,00:22:49,kaseycantwell,or at least guiding the conversation, so if you want to talk about it ....
09/08/2014,00:22:55,kaseycantwell,Hi Tim
09/08/2014,00:23:10,Scott France,Kasey - when I wrote "I hope" I meant I hope we see Metallogorgia so we could initiate the discussion.
09/08/2014,00:23:17,kaseycantwell,ahhh I see 
09/08/2014,00:23:26,Scott France,P>S> We WILL see Metallogorgia - I guarantee it.
09/08/2014,00:23:36,Scott France,;-)
09/08/2014,00:23:48,Tim Shank,I'll be prodding Scott to discuss all of his theories and hypotheses…thoughts and ideas….can't wait
09/08/2014,00:24:11,Scott France,You'll see I don't need much prodding to wax...
09/08/2014,00:24:13,kaseycantwell,Tim didn't we see it in the canyons last year on L1 of the NE canyons cruise?
09/08/2014,00:24:19,Tim Shank,ACN large venus
09/08/2014,00:24:24,Scott France,We saw it on 1 dive
09/08/2014,00:24:35,Tim Shank,Yes, we did.
09/08/2014,00:24:37,Scott France,We didn't sample that depth range (about 1700 m) much
09/08/2014,00:24:47,Scott France,in the canyons I mean
09/08/2014,00:24:56,Tim Shank,No.  Not much prodding…:-)

09/08/2014,00:35:07,briankennedy,The weather for tomorrow is still border line I will send out an email in the morning but it will be an afternoon dive if we can
09/08/2014,00:35:20,Tim Shank,Thank you Brian.
09/08/2014,12:34:55,briankennedy,We are underway to the dive locations. The weather is still questionable but we going to head to the site and see what the conditions are like. 
09/08/2014,12:35:31,briankennedy,Looks like we will be in the around somewhere between 1600 and 1800
09/08/2014,12:36:18,briankennedy,If the weather is good enough
09/08/2014,18:39:11,briankennedy,On the dive site assessing the conditions
09/08/2014,18:57:01,briankennedy,Unfortunately the weather is too strong for us to dive today instead will spend the evening mapping in this general area. This was our last dive opportunity for this cruise. Tomorrow morning we will commence our transit into Baltimore where we will be participating in the Star Spangled Spectacular. While we are in Baltimore we will be doing public tours Thursday -Sunday so if you are in the area please come by and see the ship. 
09/08/2014,We will start leg 3 of this expedition next week please look for more information about that cruise in the next few days. 
09/08/2014,18:57:43,Scott France ,Too bad. Thanks for the update.
