The diving mission aboard <em>Baruna Jaya IV</em> during the INDEX-SATAL 2010 expedition is to install Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) in the Sangihe Talaud region. ARMS were developed as a standard and systematic method to investigate and monitor the diversity of the lesser-known reef organisms.
