\nAt-Sea Tests<\/h1>\n\t

October Expedition to Deploy and Recover Test Moorings in Prep for Move to Mid-Atlantic Bight<\/h2>\n

A team of scientists and engineers will leave Woods Hole, MA aboard the R\/V Armstrong<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>on October 23, 2023 to conduct a variety of at-sea tests to continue preparations for the anticipated move of the Coastal Pioneer Array<\/a><\/strong> to the Mid-Atlantic Bight, off Cape Hatteras, NC. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Sheri White is serving as Chief Scientist. The team has a very busy agenda. First will be the deployment of a newly designed shallow water mooring off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard, for easy access and recovery and to test its suitability in a shallow environment. From there, the team will head to the mid-Atlantic Bight to recover a mooring and two anchors that have been in place since spring 2023. Other activities will include a site survey, an ROV inspection of alternate locations, and water and CTD sampling to ensure the new array is properly sited. The public comment period<\/a><\/strong> on the environmental assessment of the new location is open until October 30, 2023. Cruise duration October 23- November 5, 2023.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Pioneer-MAB-illustration\"\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t
