SOUTH ATLANTIC MPAS AND DEEPWATER CORAL HAPCS: CHARACTERIZATION OF BENTHIC HABITAT AND FAUNA FOR; NOAA SHIP PISCES CRUISE 13-03 UNCW SUPER PHANTOM ROV JULY 2-11, 2013.
A 12 day research cruise was conducted July 2-11, 2013, on the NOAA Ship Pisces with the UNCW Super Phantom ROV by NOAA National Marine Fisheries in collaboration with the Cooperative Institute for Ocean Exploration, Research, and Technology (CIOERT) at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute, Florida Atlantic University (HBOI-FAU), and other academic and federal partners (including NOAA NCCOS and University of North Carolina at Wilmington).
Recently, the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council (SAFMC) established eight deepwater Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) along the outer continental shelf off the southeastern U.S. This project is one of several research cruises to document and characterize the benthic habitat, benthic biota, and fish populations within and adjacent to these protected areas within the jurisdiction of the SAFMC. This monitoring program for the MPAs will ensure the Council remains well informed of changes within reef fish populations and coral habitats associated with these MPAs.
A Cruise Plan for the 2013 Pisces cruise was finalized and approved by the NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations, detailing the operating area, research objectives, personnel, itinerary, equipment, data management, and the methods for each operation including ROV operations, multibeam sonar surveys, and CTD casts

CONNECTIVITY OF THE PULLEY RIDGE - SOUTH FLORIDA CORAL REEF ECOSYSTEM: PROCESSES TO DECISION-SUPPORT TOOLS.
This cruise is the fourth of seven planned for this project. The intent of this preliminary report is to provide information on sampling and other activities of this cruise, so that processing of data and samples can quickly begin and planning for future cruises can be optimized; a final cruise report will be submitted by the end of the year after the fifth cruise. Significant progress was made on all tasks

This cruise was conducted from July 6 to 19, 2012 in the previous reporting period, and a 731 page preliminary cruise report was submitted to the SAFMC on August 8, 2012 (Harter, Reed, David, and Farrington, 2012)
Six Thinking Hats in the Library
This document discusses Edward de Bono\u27s Six Thinking Hats technique for creative thinking and effective decision making. The Six Hats include Blue for process, White for objective facts, Red for feelings, Green for creative ideas, Yellow for benefits, and Black for cautions. Each hat represents a different perspective and helps separate thinking styles. The document provides an overview of each hat and how it can be applied, using an example of whether librarians should wear tutus. It also outlines a group exercise to practice applying the Six Hats technique
