The Principal Investigators (Mandy, Ian and Bill) and the Dive Master (Tammy) would like to thank the eight Earthwatch volunteers who made this project possible and implemented the work so capably. Everyone worked, ate, and laughed together as one very happy team.
We would also like to thank the Mori Family and staff of the Kurassa Hotel for again making us feel very welcome.
Gradvin Aisek and the staff of the Blue Lagoon Dive Shop again gave us great service with dive gear.
The staff of the Chuuk Historic Preservation Office (particularly Anerit Mailo, who dived with us) and Tracy Meter and Doropio Marar gave us great support, as did Romio Osiena (Director, Depratment of Marine Resources) and his boat operators. We also thank Romio for the use of a Department boat.
Some of us will be back in late October for Teams 3 and 4. We will keep this blog live until and after then with more photographs, as well as the results of our research as it is written up.
