			Purpose:
				         Deploy 5 tripod systems, 6 
				current moorings; Recover 2 tripods 
				and 2 current moorings. Monitor near-bottom 
				circulation along the southern flank 
				of Georges Bank, through Great South 
				Channel, investigate coherence of flow 
				between Georges Bank and mid-Atlantic 
				shelf. Study currents and sediment movement 
				in region of fine-grained sediments 
				south of Martha s Vineyard.2.Conduct 
				temperature, salinity/suspended matter 
				observations along shelf sections to 
				determine position of moorings relative 
				to coastal water masses to aid data 
				interpretation.3.Sidescan-sonar survey 
				to determine large-scale bedform distribution 
				and direction of movement.4.Recover, 
				relight, and replace necessary surface 
				marker floats at tripod and current 
				locations (so fishermen can avoid fouling 
				their nets and leave instrumentation 
				undisturbed.)
