Station maintenance


On Friday August 10th, 2012, Interpretive Park Ranger Jose Sanchez was accompanied by Jonathan Brown, Fisheries Biologist with the Division of Fish and Wildlife, DPNR  to clean and calibrate the ICON station.

Jose and Jonathan did extensive cleaning of station and connected the ground truth CT.  They also replaced the mesh screens on the deep and shallow CTD’s.

The cleaning took place just in time for the arrival of Tropical storm Issac who thankfully skirted the south of St Croix.

Next planned visit week of September 10th , 2012.
