ASCLME RV Algoa Cruise Report - Mozambique Channel

Early afternoon on Friday 11 December 2009 RV Algoa left the quay in the harbour of Durban, South Africa, and headed for the narrowest section of the Mozambique Channel to service (recover and redeploy) several current meter moorings and one sediment trap mooring. On Wednesday 16 December, late afternoon, the work along the mooring section in the Mozambique Channel started with the successful recovery of the sediment trap mooring that had been serviced early 2009 with the Dutch RV Pelagia 4 (all other moorings had been serviced for the last time in early 2008 on a cruise with the German RV Meteor).
