SELECTING A CRUISE: Form A: Participant's Application (continued)
The research projects undertaken by each NOAA vessel are available on the Internet at
http://teacheratsea.noaa.gov. Please check the Web site for cruise options. Due to homeland
security, the ship schedules are no longer available to the public; therefore you cannot select a cruise
specifically. By filling in the following parameters, you will be matched with a cruise that best fits
your interests. Since placement is based upon ships’ bunk space availability, the more flexible you are,
the more likely you will be placed. If you are flexible, respond to the question with “N/A.” However,
you must list the exact dates of your availability.
A) Please list below ALL the dates that you would be available to participate on a cruise. Available
Dates:
