We should be launching in about 20 minutes. [14:13:36] Dive planning call for tomorrow will be at 10:45 EST. Tomorrow's dive is scheduled to be Pamlico Canyon deep but will be dependent upon currents [14:21:45] taraluke leaves the room [14:27:16] rachelgulbraa leaves the room [14:32:14] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [14:35:34] taraluke leaves the room [14:42:29] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [14:45:38] im very concerned that they are workiung on the back deck without PFDs [14:46:31] Thanks, kelleybrumley. It is difficult to see but the gates are closed right now and high voltage is off at the moment. [14:46:50] Launch is slightly delayed because of HEAVY fishing boat traffic in the area. [14:49:27] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [14:50:04] Dolphins in the rear facing camera [14:50:08] well I gues im just used to industry HSE requirements. I keep seeing all the boats!! that is interesting though. Are there maritime rules to vessels to give an avoidance to ROV operations? [14:51:44] Has the call started? We can't hear anything in the Silver Spring ECC [14:51:52] We have the bridge trying to communicate with them about staying a certain radius off of the ship but they aren't all exactly listening... [14:56:30] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [15:00:00] rachelgulbraa leaves the room [15:01:34] I have no sound here either at HBOI [15:02:38] @johnreed we are trying to get set up for today's dive still. please stand by. [15:03:00] Fishing boats- they are supposed to know and stay away from ship with Ball-Diamond-Ball dayshapes- unable to maneauver- few boats know or care. [15:08:08] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [15:12:36] We are still assessing the boat traffic in the area although we are trying to dive on this site as it is bathymetrically interesting and probably has a lot of pelagic productivity given the number of boats in the area. [15:12:59] Please continue to stand by. We will update you shortly. [15:13:13] Alexis Weinnig leaves the room [15:24:06] adamskarke leaves the room [15:28:36] folks were are going to shift our dive deeper due to fishing traffic [15:28:43] we will be back with an update shortly [15:56:55] We had to move further offshore because of too much fishing traffic. We are getting repositioned now. It will be a deeper site and we have been given permission to do an extended dive today. [15:57:44] Thanks Amy. Any guesses when we might be on station? [16:11:37] The latest estimate is 50m at 12:45 EDT. Then about a 40 minute descent. [16:12:49] Thanks. I'll go run my errands now then. Talk to you soon. [16:13:41] Thanks, Tara!

Plenty for them to feed on... [18:18:23] That's an interesting observation [18:18:59] @Scott I agree. Maybe Eelpouts crowd them out or nip at them? [18:19:12] I bet we see them before too long.

[18:31:01] When I was a grad student I never dreamed this (telepresence, ROVs) would be a way I could see the deep sea, without even getting on a ship! So who knows. [18:31:48] @Scott That would be AMAZING!!! I would love to see meiofauna in situ, and I know many other scientists would be far more excited. [18:33:26] I have to go.

I, for one, never would have been able to get involved without first starting out watching as a member of the public. I have introduced quite a few members of the public to the OKEX and they have also wanted to pursue these sorts of studies and/or want to better understand the importance of our oceans as lay people.

Assuming it’s from the Latin illicium ("entice" or "seduce") that gives us the name for the modified dorsal spine/fishing rod of anglerfish that helps to entice prey.

Im not sure that waterdepth is the control on seeps witihn the stability zone.....it would if there are geologic structures that can act as conduits for fluids to the surface. I have a feeling that their geochemistry is differnet (maybe thermogenic) than those above the stability zone seeping biogenic methane. [19:45:31] upasanaganguly leaves the room [19:46:08] We need to be careful about that Kelley. There is not one whit of evidence for that in the Atlantic so far. We have only microbial methane even at the deep seeps. [19:46:34] bryozoans! [19:46:56] Also Kelley--The deep seeps are largely controlled by outcrops of specific strata in the Atlantic. That's why we seem to have a 'gap' in depth of seeps in the Atlantic...because of the geology. We don't have the underlying heat, salt tectonism, and faulting of the GoMex situation. [19:47:27] The strata "leaking" on the mid-Atlantic margin seem to be the same ones leaking on the New England margin. [19:47:41] @Megan Do you think these would be worth collecting in the furture, even though they are soooo small? [19:48:14] @Nolan I'd be up for collection..haven't seen that kind yet [19:48:28] if that's a possibility [19:49:47] LAT : 35.623629 , LON : -74.748527 , DEPTH : 1285.5126 m, TEMP : 4.18096 C, SAL : 34.96508 PSU, DO : 8.17345 mg/l [19:49:55] @Megan I'm not in charge of the collections, but I was just wondering if you thought it would be valuable especially for a habitat type. [19:50:39] just to give an idea of bryozoan diversity, someone in our lab just got back from some sampling off South Carolina at about 50m depth and in the small amount of material collected, I've found about 25 species [19:50:56] Ophiuroid arm pushing sediment maybe? [19:51:28] Great eye @Alexis! [19:51:44] So can someone tell us non-ecologists if there is any significance to this being gastropod habitat? [19:53:32] @scott--thanks!

[20:59:03] But I didn't see the tip of the "spoon" [20:59:20] @Nolan: ditto. I wasn't ready to call it. [20:59:31] But this is definitely good habitat for them.

Speaking of echiurans, is there a group of echiurans that hold their spoon up in the water column, maybe less then 10cm off the floor? In one of the first dives we saw "spoon" or mouth retract really fast, faster then any carnivorous tunicate I've ever seen and I couldn't help but think it was an echiuran. But I didn't have the right words to search for it to double check.

[21:12:08] Hyalinoecia artifex [21:12:17] @Carolyn: thanks! [21:13:23] I know it is out of character for me to know that, but the reason I do is that the "iconic" methane site from our Nature Geo paper (the 'cap carbonate' that had the CH4 streams behind) had "sticks" all over. Cindy Van Dover later worked with a group that IDed them as that species. We call that site "Pick Up Sticks". [21:13:43] Meyer, K. S., Wagner, J. K. S., Ball, B., Turner, P. J., Young, C.
