Return to the Graveyard

The main aims of the voyage are:

1) To describe differences in benthic biodiversity between north western and eastern regions of the Chatham Rise;

2) To continue the time series of observations in the NW Chatham Rise to demonstrate recovery in terms of biodiversity;

3) To extend the observations on fished-unfished contrasts and recovery of fauna on protected seamounts to an oceanographically distinct location.
