Meghan Donohue assembles an Anchor Recovery Module (ARM).  The ARM includes the anchor for the Multi-Function Node (MFN) as well as a flotation module and recovery line.  The flotation module and recovery line allow the MFN anchor to be recovered, leaving nothing behind, and minimizing the impact to the seabed environment.
