Cruise Report No. 2 - 22 January to 27 January 2001

In January 2001 ECoSwiss began its field work collaboration with local scientists by inviting a marine biologist from the Marine Science Department, Mawlamyine University of the Mon State of Myanmar, to cruise and explore with us aboard our Sea Nomad research boat.

In order to accommodate the marine biologists needs, we sailed to the southern islands of the archipelago. These included the islands of Barwell, Pine Trees, Cat & Kitten, Pocock, Potter and Saddle islands. 

Planktonic flora and fauna were collected by utilizing special nylon mesh collection devices. Sample collection was accomplished both vertically and horizontally. The vertical sampling was done by dropping the mesh collection device down into the water and then pulling it up quickly so as to collect plankton from various depth levels. Horizontal sampling was done by dropping the during the time the boat was sailing. Surface water organisms were collect over 15 minute sampling periods.

These samples were then taken to Mawlamyine University to be analyzed.

Coral reefs around the islands were also visited and photos, both under water and above water, were taken. These photos will be used for the purpose of assisting in compiling a census of the marine fauna and flora in the region. This information will later be published in an atlas of our research findings.
