Ecosystem Study of the Chukchi Shoal

Dear Ms.Wheeley What other types of equipment did you have to get there? Also were you able to hold the 1 1/4 feet of rope?

Thank you, St. Mark School

Hello St. Mark's-At the Marine Supply Store, I purchased a mug for my tea, a thin headband to fit under the hardhat, a towel as I forgot mine, and stickers for fun. Those items were all for personal use, not for the ship. Other scientists purchased line for their experiments and other supplies such as metal connectors. I enjoyed looking around at all of the supplies. I did touch many different types of line. Some are made of nylon and feel very smooth. The 1 1/4 line felt strong and smooth, also.
Thanks for the good question-
Ms. Wheeler
