As we wrap up the Pioneer 18 cruise and head back to port in Woods Hole, it is a time to thank all those responsible for the great success of the Pioneer array, and reflect on the fact that the Coastal Profiler Mooring shown here, PMUI-17, will be the last Pioneer mooring deployed on the New England Shelf. After providing data through the summer and early fall, the current array will be recovered in November of 2022 and relocated to the southern Mid-Atlantic Bight in 2024.
