This award will fund the first of five years of operation under a renewal of the NSF Cooperative Agreement, OCE- 0505385. Ship awards will be renegotiated each year and is based on the number of days of ship time in support of NSF funded research programs. R/V Pt. Sur, a NSF-owned research vessel, is operated as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) research fleet by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories. In 2012, Pt. Sur anticipates operating 102 days, of which 72 days will be in direct support of NSF peer-reviewed sea-going work. R/V Point Sur has been successfully operated by Moss Landing Marine Laboratories (MLML) since 1986. MLML is located in Central California on the Monterey Bay at the head of the deep undersea Monterey canyon and has unique proximity to a wide variety of coastal, canyon and offshore study sites along the Central CA coast The R/V Point Sur continues to serve scientists from institutions around the world as well as institutions associated with the Monterey Bay Crescent Ocean Research Consortium (MBCORC). During 2012 the R/V Point Sur will provide ship time for several research and marine science educational programs funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI), the Army Corps of Engineers, MLML and consortium campuses of the California State University system. This proposal requests the funding necessary to support the NSF portion of our operation that amounts to 63 days out of a total schedule of 95 days at sea. These NSF days encompass 4 discrete cruises. Two of these cruises are repeat users of the vessel (Bishop and McPhee-Shaw) while the remaining cruises will be new. The first of these cruises will take the ship off the coast of Oregon for CTD and mid-water trawling operations. The second cruise represents a transit from the vessels homeport to Punta Arenas, Chile. This transit is part of a larger project that involves science support at Palmer Station, Antarctica. This represents one of the longest and most logistically challenging cruises the vessel has ever undertaken. Funds have been included in the current proposal to help prepare the vessel for this work. Broader Impacts: The Moss Landing Marine Laboratories continues to be successful in advancing the California State University's Center for Integrative Coastal Observation, Research and Education program (CI-CORE, http://www.mlml.calstate.edu/cicore/) and the Alliance for Coastal Technologies program (ACT, http://www.actonline.ws/). As a key partner in both these efforts MLML has been funded (at no cost to NSF) to provide instrumentation for the underway measurement of surface water parameters (temperature, salinity, fluorescence, oxygen, and turbidity) from a number of our vessels. As part of the CI-CORE program these data will be formatted and made available on our web site for educators, scientists, policy makers and the public. Various other Federal, State and private supported work is also included in the schedule. The MBARI maintains several moored arrays near the mouth of the Monterey Bay and offshore that will be serviced using the R/V Point Sur. MLML will use approximately 10 days of ship time in support of class cruises and thesis work for the California State Universities (CSU) providing graduate and undergraduate students valuable field time to gather data for class projects. These classes include physical, chemical and biological oceanography, geology, ichthyology, benthic ecology and marine mammal behavior. Several CSU instructors have taken advantage of these class cruises by using them to help educate junior college and high school students as well. In the past weve also opened the R/V Point Sur to local middle school students and their parents for dockside tours and informal talks about the local ocean environment.

该奖项将为NSF合作协议OCE- 0505385续签后的五年运营中的第一年提供资金。船舶奖励将每年重新谈判，并根据船舶时间的天数，以支持NSF资助的研究计划。R/V角苏尔是一艘NSF拥有的研究船，由莫斯兰丁海洋实验室作为大学国家海洋学实验室系统（UNOLS）研究船队的一部分运营。2012年，PT。Sur预计运营102天，其中72天将直接支持NSF同行评审的海上工作。R/V Point Sur自1986年以来一直由Moss Landing Marine Laboratories（MLML）成功运营。MLML位于加州中部的蒙特雷湾，位于蒙特雷峡谷深处，靠近加州中部海岸沿着的各种沿海、峡谷和近海研究地点。2012年期间，R/V Point Sur将为美国国家科学基金会（NSF）、海军研究办公室（ONR）、蒙特雷湾水族馆研究所（MBARI）、陆军工程兵部队、MLML和加州州立大学系统的联合校园资助的几个研究和海洋科学教育计划提供船时。该提案要求提供必要的资金，以支持我们在海上95天总时间表中的63天的NSF部分。NSF的这些日子包括4次独立的巡航。其中两艘邮轮是该船的重复用户（Bishop和McPhee-Shaw），而其余邮轮将是新的。这些巡航中的第一个将采取该船离开俄勒冈州海岸的CTD和中层水拖网作业。第二次巡航是从船舶母港到智利蓬塔阿雷纳斯的过境。这次凌日是一个更大的项目的一部分，该项目涉及南极洲帕尔默站的科学支持。这是该船有史以来最长和最具后勤挑战性的巡航之一。目前的提案中已包含资金，以帮助该船为这项工作做好准备。更广泛的影响：莫斯兰丁海洋实验室继续成功地推进加州州立大学的综合海岸观测、研究和教育中心方案（CI-CORE，http：//www.mlml.calstate.edu/cicore/）和海岸技术联盟方案（ACT，http：//www.actonline.ws/）。作为这两项工作的关键合作伙伴，MLML获得了资助（NSF不承担任何费用），为我们的许多船只提供正在进行的地表水参数（温度，盐度，荧光，氧气和浊度）测量仪器。作为CI-CORE方案的一部分，这些数据将被格式化，并在我们的网站上提供给教育工作者、科学家、决策者和公众。各种其他联邦、州和私人支持的工作也包括在时间表中。MBARI在蒙特利湾口附近和海上维护着几个系泊阵列，这些阵列将使用R/V Point Sur提供服务。MLML将使用大约10天的船舶时间来支持加州州立大学（CSU）的课程巡航和论文工作，为研究生和本科生提供宝贵的实地时间来收集课程项目的数据。这些课程包括物理、化学和生物海洋学、地质学、鱼类学、底栖生态学和海洋哺乳动物行为学。一些CSU的教师利用这些课程巡航来帮助教育大专和高中学生。在过去，我们还向当地中学生和他们的家长开放了R/V Point Sur，让他们在码头边参观图尔斯，并就当地的海洋环境进行非正式的交谈。
