[11:13:07] NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer arrived at the first exploration site off East Vieques Island, where the team will conduct a calibration of the ROV navigation system this morning. Once complete, the team will conduct the first ROV dive of the expedition, which is currently scheduled to start around 12:00 AST. This first ROV dive will explore 300-400 m depths for deepwater snapper and associated benthic communities.

Calibration tests are being completed, and hoping to launch by 12:30 AST [16:09:27] iscwatch2 leaves the room [16:17:04] taraluke leaves the room [16:21:39] danielwagner leaves the room [16:23:27] staceywilliams leaves the room [16:27:57] Hey its Ashley at the Ecoexploratorio Command Center! Excited for the first dive! [16:30:23] Hi Ashley, welcome [16:33:43] aurearodriguez leaves the room [16:50:18] Hi Everyone. Do we have an update on ETA in the water? [17:04:17] ashleyperez leaves the room [17:06:44] Hi Tara. We have reached the dive launch location and are conducting a drift test. We will be launching momentarily [17:07:01] 5-10 minutes I would estimate [17:07:14] taraluke leaves the room [17:08:13] Thanks Steve! [17:18:32] emilycrum leaves the room [17:24:45] Hi shore-side team. Thanks for your patience. We are beginning to launch the vehicles in a moment. There is a slight modification to the dive plan for the sake of time. We will be launching approx. mid-way between WP 1 and WP 2 and continuing on our planned track. If time allows, we will continue through WP 2 to the top of the mound shown in the dive plan. [17:26:31] Thanks for the update. [17:26:51] Thanks [17:31:24] kelleyelliott leaves the room [17:35:10] EX1811 Test message [17:37:10] Launching D2 [17:47:18] Vehicles descending to approx. 290m. The launch has put us on top of the mound where WP 2 is in the original dive plan. [17:47:48] michellescharer leaves the room [17:49:18] thanks for the update [17:50:50] staceywilliams leaves the room [17:50:51] We're just waiting on Roland to make a general announcement and we'll begin after that. [17:55:11] We expect to reach the seafloor at the NE corner of the mount north of WP 2. We will then proceed SW back across the mound toward where WP 2 was originally designated. Most of the remainder of this dive will be traversing the top of this local high point. [17:55:23] Depths should range between 290-310m. [17:56:18] staceywilliams leaves the room [17:58:36] Hi! Here at the EcoExploratorio [17:59:06] Hello Aurea [17:59:22] Bottom in sight [17:59:32] aurearodriguez leaves the room [17:59:52] Many fish in sight already [18:03:09] Thanks Megan, yes I realized that I was on the wrong side, sorry [18:03:46] I can call in if you want :) [18:08:21] ashleyperez leaves the room [18:08:41] Up to you Santiago. :) [18:09:24] michellescharer leaves the room [18:09:47] jaymesawbrey leaves the room [18:11:19] taraluke leaves the room [18:17:48] michellescharer leaves the room [18:18:10] kelleyelliott leaves the room: Replaced by new connection [18:19:16] I belive that it was a Silk snapper [18:20:23] I agree Aurea, Lutjanus vivanus [18:21:55] michellescharer leaves the room [18:21:57] Yes [18:22:08] ALL USERS: we are working on getting the environmental data updating on the chatroom. It will be up shortly! [18:28:41] jaymesawbrey leaves the room [18:33:50] chat-admin leaves the room [18:40:31] Please let us know if there is something additional anyone would like to zoom on. [18:41:00] danielwagner leaves the room [18:50:21] Fish could be Ostichthys? Holocentridae [18:55:49] michellescharer leaves the room [18:57:35] A moray not sure species [18:59:10] Hyporthodus mystacinus [18:59:34] Great view of the grouper [19:00:23] what type of grouper is this? [19:00:34] Misty Grouper [19:00:43] thanks MIchelle [19:01:37] thanks! [19:05:14] Antigonia capros Deepbody boarfish [19:06:27] hey all [19:06:39] Hi Andrea [19:09:31] Ostichthys trachypoma Bigeye soldierfish school [19:10:03] i have never seen a school of this species of soldierfish [19:10:11] Serranus notospilus/phoebe Saddle bass [19:14:44] mashkoormalik leaves the room [19:16:05] Hermodice carunculata [19:16:18] ? [19:16:51] michellescharer leaves the room [19:16:55] enriquesalgado leaves the room [19:18:26] scottfrance leaves the room [19:20:27] anthiine bass [19:21:04] i think a rough tongue bass [19:21:21] have you all taken some zooms of the snappers? [19:21:58] what is the depth? the nav data is not working [19:22:09] Yes, Zooming on all the fishes as a priority. We have good images. [19:22:19] 277 [19:22:46] anthiines under the rocks [19:22:59] there is a fish hiding [19:22:59] debiblaney leaves the room [19:23:12] the fish under the ledge just to the upper right of the coral you're looking at? [19:23:58] right now to the upper left [19:24:13] could be Longtailed Jewelfish, Anthias woodsi? [19:24:20] Anthias woodsi ? [19:24:38] i think so [19:24:53] but i haven't seen the body…the caudal suggests that it si [19:25:04] cool! [19:25:10] is [19:27:36] megancromwell leaves the room [19:28:33] Are these black corals disguised as crinoids? (I know there is one crinoid in front) [19:29:21] Possibly. We will get a better zoom but there are ultra tiny branching black corals we zoomed on when we first touched down. [19:29:34] @Scott [19:30:41] I think I saw two black coral colonies that were densely branched low (to their left were a couple of unbranched coiled antipaths), and then there was a crinoid in fron t of them. Everything is white here! [19:31:02] Ah, now I see they are actually yellow! [19:31:13] Yes, white and small! [19:34:54] Are these what you mean scott? I think they're crinoids [19:36:09] Crinoid in front, but I think the yellow onesare antipaths [19:36:48] I mean the yellow ones behind the white crinoid. They appear to have black skelton through the tissue and look like taxa I've seen before. [19:37:45] @Steve: I'm in a class (Invert Zoo lab) so can't be fully engaged, nor can I hear the aduio much, so apologies if I am repeating things you've said. [19:38:29] That isn't the yellow one I meant. The 2 I was pointing out were on the same rock as the crinoid. Check it out in replay later. [19:41:21] Agree these are crinoids. [19:47:22] I never forget them... :) [19:48:07] You should come be their advocate [19:54:21] to the left a fiah [19:55:00] I've just discovered that there is a significant time lag on the 2 computers I am using so all of my comments were likely well separated from what you were seeing. Interestingly, the video feed associated with SeaTube is well ahead of the low latency feed on the other computer. I'll have to see if that is a factor just with this specific computer... [19:57:06] Thanks for letting us know Scott. [19:57:22] wasnt that a Blenny hunter? [19:57:32] I didn't hear anyone talking about that octopus. Did I miss it? [19:58:12] @Tara Yes we mentioned it briefly. [19:58:39] thanks. I must have been distracted. [20:00:20] Is there anyone in the chat who is making annotations? If so, can you tell me what the last annotation you see is, and what time it was made? [20:01:12] I am trying to keep up [20:01:26] These are what I thought earlier were black corals. Did your look confirm if they were yellow black corals or crinoids? [20:02:08] My question about the annotations was not to check if people are making annotations, but I'm trying to determine if the updates are slow on my computer. [20:02:41] Can confirm they are crinoids [20:03:23] amandademopoulos leaves the room [20:04:22] Thanks. Saw the curled arms of the ones in the foreground. My problem is whenever I get to look, I don't see the cirri. [20:09:25] Hi Scott - the annotations are not updating in SeaScribe correctly for me - they are often 10+ minutes behind. But I'm sitting next to Aurea and her annotations are automatically updating. Mashkoor has alerted ONC to look into it. [20:12:47] jaymesawbrey leaves the room [20:12:47] @Kelley: thanks - that is my observation as well. So far I really do not like the v2 interface! [20:13:28] Steve Auscavitch leaves the room [20:13:54] Scott / Kelley - The issue with annotations looks like to be a display issue where the most recent annotations are not shown in the tab. ONC technical team is currently working on finding a solution to this problem. [20:14:17] kelleyelliott leaves the room [20:15:43] I was having trouble with the interface today as well. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but I'm not there yet [20:16:07] aurearodriguez leaves the room [20:16:13] staceywilliams leaves the room [20:18:10] michellescharer leaves the room [20:18:40] scottfrance leaves the room [20:24:42] danielwagner leaves the room [20:26:18] briankennedy leaves the room [20:26:54] As a note (if anyone is still there), it is 20 min later and I still don't see the last annotation I made (of an octopus) [20:29:09] Scott - Your annotation is there. [20:30:14] Due to display in the tab the most recent ones are not displaying correctly - If you use filter Creator: Scott France you can see your annotation. ONC is working on finding a solution of scrolling issues in annotation tab. [20:30:26] Copy that Mashkoor. Interesting that it won't load at my end. [20:31:12] @Mashkoor: got it. Just did the filter and saw my annotation. [20:32:42] There is also an issue for me in that I'm running SeaTube on my laptop, and the restricted space on the screen has scrunched things up such that, for example, I cannot access the Hide Map link (I can manually hide it, but I'm just making the point of what the interface looks like) [20:34:25] @Mashkoor: turns out if I expand it to full screen I can get to the Hide Map link, but there is still overlapping text. [20:37:30] Scott - I guess we missed this bug during testing phase. Even for older dives the last few annotations are not showing up in annotation tab but all the annotations are there if one has to use search function. [20:38:04] We did not notice it but in real time it is a major issue the most recent ones are the most critical ones.
