Abstract
Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON) Marine Operations provide oceanographic services and operates oceanographic research vessels Pelican, Point Sur, Acadiana and numerous small vessels for various research missions. These vessels sail throughout the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. east coast and Caribbean in support of a wide variety of science research projects sponsored by NSF, U.S. Navy, NOAA, and other Federal and State Agencies. The vessels completed over 365 funded days during numerus cruises scheduled for 2019 and is anticipating completing over 94 at sea days in 2020. The R/V Pelican has averaged 185 days at sea over the last 10 years and has been operating within her full operating capacity as established by UNOLS. There are currently 35 NAVY operational funded research days aboard the Pelican, Point Sur, Acadiana and small vessels for 2020. Seagoing research scheduled for 2020 will cover a wide range of scientific disciplines such as ocean acidification, hypoxia and benthic community energy processes.
