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.
