			Abstract:
				    Grab samples:8-10; Mooring deployed: 
				2 (#338,339 recovered #90002 WHITE HEATH 
				Mar 27-29, 1990)
			Purpose:
				          To deploy an instrumented 
				tripod, a subsurface mooring, and a 
				near surface current meter from the 
				Coast Guards large navigation buoy at 
				the approach to Boston Harbor. In addition, 
				sediment samples will be collected with 
				a Van Veen grab sampler at two locations 
				near the proposed offshore outfall for 
				Bostons sewage treatment plant. Objective 
				is to begin long-term monitoring of 
				currents, sediment transport, and physical/chemical 
				characteristics of sediments in western 
				Massachusetts Bay.
