This science pod was cut loose from the Axial Base Shallow Profiler mooring on Sunday morning and was throughly cleaned by an eager group of students. The growth visible on the pod comes after just one year in the water, and since many of the instruments on the pod require unobstructed intake lines for sampling, the pods must be replaced yearly. 

Katie Gonzalez, from Clallam Bay, will be a freshman at the University of Washington Fall 2017 where she will study Oceanography and work with Deb Kelley. Here, she is cleaning an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler recovered from 2900 m water depth at the Slope Base site. Credit: M. Elend, University of Washington.
