Dr. Sette was a pioneer in the development of fisheries oceanography and according to many fisheries scientists, is the father of modern fisheries oceanography in the U.S. He is recognized both nationally and internationally for many significant contributions to marine fisheries research. Oscar Elton Sette replaces Townsend Cromwell. Oscar Elton Sette supports the scientific missions of NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service Pacific Islands Science Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. The ship normally operates throughout the central and western Pacific, and conducts fisheries assessment surveys, physical and chemical oceanography, marine mammal projects and coral reef research. It collects fish and crustacean specimens using bottom trawls, longlines, and fish traps. Plankton, fish larvae and eggs are also collected with plankton nets and surface and mid-water larval nets. The ship routinely conducts scuba diving missions for the Honolulu Laboratory. Ample deck space enables Oscar Elton Sette to carry a recompression chamber as an added safety margin for dive-intensive missions in remote regions. The ship is actively involved in NMFS Honolulu Coral Reef Restoration cruises, which concentrate scientific efforts on the removal, classification and density of marine debris and discarded commercial fishing gear from fragile coral reefs. sponsor: title: DOC/NOAA/OMAO/MOC-P > Marine Operations Center - Pacific (owner) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/be19fd70-6aa4-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 sponsor: title: DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (operator) xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/cafb6caa-03af-4c54-8c8f-b5dbfc5734bf instrument: title: Simrad EK60 Singlebeam Echosounder xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/b7ae3f00-701c-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: SBE 911plus CTD xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/45080730-69c6-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: Sippican XBT/XSV xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/d2054ed0-69c2-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: SBE SeaCat 21 xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/9779e920-703d-11e0-a1f0-0800200c9a66 instrument: title: SBE 45 Micro TSG xlink: https://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/46d6e5b0-69c4-11e0-ae3e-0800200c9a66 |
