The Johnson Sea Link at 15m with experiments
(rods are buried with only floats visible at this site).

Since 1993...
The original experiments were placed on the sea floor in 1993 and have been sampled numerous times since then. The experiments are designed to be easily deployed and retrieved by submersible. For more information about the experimental design, results, and ongoing work, follow the links below.

Funding & Support

In addition, we thank the support of our home institutions and the staff and crews of the R/V Seward Johnson and R/V Johnson Sea Link of Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, and the R/V Delta and Gamma research submersibles
