The cores will be used to determine the concentrations and inventories of heavy metals. The previous work at these stations has documented a 50% decrease in metal concentraions in surface sediments between 1977 and 1993. This sampling will check conditions just before the sewage outfall is changed from Deer Island (at the mouth of the harbor) to the new location 9 miles offshore.

00004 SEP/26/2000 - SEP/28/2000 MARCUS HANNA Michael Bothner Three day trips were completed. Day 1: Exchange moorings off Boston and Scituate. Day 2: Collected sediment cores with the new Hydraulically Damped corer at stations 2, 3 and 3b(near the benthic chamber deployment site). Deployed and recover oxygen profiler - 2 times at station 3 once at station 2. Recovered one Benthic chamber by SCUBA divers. The second chamber was not found. Day 3: An attempt was made to recover the lost slow corer from location east of Stellwagen Bank at 200 m water depth. A three grapling hook assembly (on an 8 foot spreader) was used with a camera attached to the middle hook. Dann Blackwood arranged 6 submersible flashlights on the central hook which did a good job illuminating to the side and bottom. The whole assemblage was lowered on half inch tenex rope (breaking strength about 11,000lbs). Approximately 2 hours were spend on and around the last known position of the core. It was not seen in the camera, nor was it hooked during the dragging operation.

This location is west of the typical station 8 in order to avoid a concentrated mat of Ampilisca (amphipod) tubes. These tubes make it diffcult to cut the core for pore water studies.
