		Description:
			Abstract:
				   Moorings deployed: 2(#347,348 recovered 
				#90041 WHITE HEATH Oct 23-24, 1990). 
				Moorings recovered: 2(#340, 341 deployed 
				#90002 WHITE HEATH Mar 27-29, 1990.)
			Purpose:
				      The objective of the program is 
				to make long-term measurements of currents 
				and sediment  transport in the vicinity 
				of the proposed ocean outfall in MA 
				Bay. The purpose of this cruise  was 
				to recover and redeploy the instrumented 
				moorings. Samples of bottom sediments 
				are  collected on each cruise required 
				to service the instruments. This was 
				the third in a series of 6  cruises 
				during the two year period of the present 
				Joint Funding Agreement between the 
				MA  Water Resources Authority and the 
				USGS.
