14. Brief Description of Operations Plan
Give a brief description of the area of operations and type of work to be done and science objective:
Bering Sea. Biological, chemical, and physical sampling. Ice stations.
Potential helicopter sampling. Small
boat use. Please see cruise plan and operations plan files.

Overall objective is to understand the importance of sea ice, and the potential
loss of that ice, to the
structure and functioning of the ecosystem (pelagic, benthic, cryogenic).
Operational Plan
Cruise Tracks and Station Locations. Please provide as complete a description as possible. Include with this plan, or separately, a complete list of stations with ID, Latitude, Longitude, depth and other information such as type of sampling/operations as appropriate. Use the text box below or upload separate documents as needed.
15a. Upload a cruise track file (jpeg, pdf, gif, etc) here (required):

15c. Operational Plan Description
We will be discussing the sequence of stations in about a month, when we have a
better idea of the ice conditions for our cruise.

NOTE: I have attached a list of the stations we will be occupying at minimum.
The order in which we will occupy them is still unresolved. Note also that
there will be a period of ~10 days in late-April/early-May during which we will
be working at the ice edge where our station locations will be ice dependent and
thus are not on the list.
16. Will the vessel be operating within 200 miles of a foreign country? Yes
16b. If yes, Please list them here: Russia
17. Will you be contacting Native communities to inform them of your intended icebreaker research activities?   Yes

Savoonga: George Noongwook, Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commissioner; Sylvia Toolie, Savoonga IRA Council. Vice President Eskimo Whaling Commission: Vera Metcalf
18. Will Marine Mammal Protection Act, NEPA or Endangered Species Act consultation or permitting be required? No
19. Description of Operations:

Provide as much detail as possible about the type of operations and sampling to be conducted, daily schedule and hours of operation, type of equipment to be used and any other information that will help us prepare for this cruise. Use additional pages or send corrected drafts as necessary. If this is a multi-investigator cruise, please include a list of Co-PI's who will be submitting operational science plans:

27. Dietary Requirements

Indicate the number of personnel with the following dietary requirements:
Vegetarian 6
Vegan 1
No Red Meat 1
Low Fat 1
Other comments: Mid-Rats: A large number of the science party will require mid-rats. We anticipate that 14 people will be permanently on either the midnight-noon-midnight watches or ~7PM to ~7AM watch and will require mid-rats daily. Seven (7) people will have no watch schedule and will work whenever required. Twenty-one (21) people will be primarily working during the day but may also occasionally work at night. (42 total)
