This meeting was held between the scientists, the ship’s officers and the technical crewmembers that will assist the scientists in making sure that their data is properly collected. Meetings such as these are important so that the scientists can communicate to the ship and the proper navigational planning can begin. This ensures that the scientific mission of the ship will be a success. Image courtesy of Hudson Canyon Cruise 2002, NOAA/OER.
