As a result, we have had to pick an alternate dive site. [11:03:54] We will move the ship towards there, and this will unfortunately delay dive launch by ~~ 1 hour. we will provide more updates as soon as we have them. [11:04:29] We will still have our dive call at 8:30 AST , during which time we will have a better estimate on timing.

[17:08:47] bryozoans [17:08:49] michellescharer leaves the room [17:10:27] they are relatives to lampshells [17:10:41] yep, bryozoans [17:11:13] Those are different from the other species we've been seeing this expedition [17:11:32] It is DISASTER to distingush bryos without SEM [17:11:58] Pilots have to bring the vehicles off bottom.

So it's amazing that they aren't studied more. But part of the issue is that, at least in the US, there aren't any bryozoologists (marine, recent species) in positions to take students. I am self-taught. [17:18:05] Stacey, there are thousands of them. a lot of endemic species. They have quite short planctonic larvae, many breeders, so.. different places are isolated. seamount from seamount... [17:19:12] @tina and megan, we need to start training some students to be bryozoologists :) [17:19:26] .. so... if we collect some - they will be probably new species))) [17:20:05] however, I do not know how well Puertorico is studied for bryozoa [17:20:26] @Stacey exactly! It's unfortunate that taxonomy is underfunded as well. [17:21:33] Not sure, but I know even the shallow-water species are very understudied and those are easy to sample.

There's one on epibionts of sea turtles there, but that's about it. [17:24:36] Well hey, if anyone there wants to collect bryozoans from Puerto Rico (shallow or otherwise) and send them to me in North Carolina, they will get ID'd and cataloged at our museum [17:25:31] (and, in fact, I would accept them from anywhere in the world) [17:26:00] Sea turtle epibionts was my MS!

Once I have access to SEM, I'm hoping to image Okeanos bryozoan specimens [17:35:57] @megan, no offence given, I just counted aloud) [17:36:24] what's also scary is that the Smithsonian has several hundred (if not thousands) of unidentified bryozoan specimens [17:36:41] @megan, I can definitely collect bryozoans.
