PROGRAM 11 SEISMIC AND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
Project 11.1
Soundings of the Ocean Side of Eniwetok Reef
The hydrographic survey to determine the configuration of the
ocean side of the reef is now underway.
The team has been at the
Atoll for several weeks but the work has been delayed to some extent
by the failure of some shipments to arrive.
This includes recording
cameras, fathometer paper, and spare parts for the 42-ft sounding
boat.
Requests for replacements have been made, and it is expected
that the survey will be accomplished in the next few weeks.
