  On 3rd August the Research Vessel G.O.Sars (Institute of Marine Research and University of Bergen), caused a stir when they dropped off Prof. Monty Priede and PhD student Nicola King after a month long cruise to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). The cruise was the second leg of the MAR-ECO project (www.mar-eco.no), which is a pilot project of the Census of Marine Life (www.coml.org).
  
  The RObust BIOdiversity (ROBIO) lander was deployed 19 times throughout the cruise, capturing a total of over 4000 images. In addition the ISIT camera conducted 14 dives to depths of 1000-3500m. Genetic samples were also taken from armed grenadiers are discrete populations of these fish along and across the MAR.
  
  Over 120 people were given a guided tour of the vessel during its short stop in Aberdeen, including a group of pupils from Ellon Academy. The cruise leader, Dr. Odd Aksel Bergstad, and Nicola King gave the students a presentation of cruise highlights and ROBIO lander photos. See Cruise Report
