CREWS Basic Clean in March
Today, Tuesday March 29th, Wess Merten conducted a basic cleaning and assessment of the CREWs station in La Parguera. I conducted a surface inspection, underwater inspection/cleaning, optical sensor cleaning, and a CTD sensor cleaning. I also very carefully removed some biofouling that has accumulated on some of the cables. In addition, all four brass filters were replaced after finally removing the sleeves from the CTD's. The station looks great!
