Recovery

In an earlier post Trenity Ford explored a bit of what it takes to deploy a mooring and its related parts, but that is only one-half of the operation. For each mooring or profiler that gets deployed, a different one must be picked up and recovered. OOI operates the Coastal Endurance Array on a 6-month schedule…Every 6-months each piece of equipment that has been deployed along the array is replaced and the old one brought on board the ship to be taken back to OOI’s facility in Corvallis, OR. There the equipment is inspected and refurbished and replaced in preparation for its next half-year stint in the Pacific. Read more at Trenity Ford’s blog post here.
