The synoptic survey will consist of a series of core (acoustic, net sampling,
CTD casts) activities that will each be described by a detailed protocol.
It is important that the protocols for the core activities are followed
by all survey participants. In addition there will be a series of secondary
activities (for instance predator observations, phytoplankton measurements)
that will be described in some detail and we encourage every participant
to undertake as many of these secondary activities as they can.
