1 DR. KRAEUTER: The new platform they put in the Gulf is much 



2 deeper than that. 



3 DR. COOPER: They are impressive. 



4 DR. GRASSLE: Okay. Are we okay on John's-- 



5 DR. KRAEUTER: Do you want me to read it for the record? 

 5 DR. GRASSLE: Okay. 



7 DR. KRAEUTER: "Canyons represent a large fraction of the fishing 



8 grounds for some species. The 500 meter setback would minimize a 



9 portion of this space conflict. Anchor lines could occupy a large 



10 fraction of the preferred fishing area near a given canyon. Some 



11 accommodation could be achieved by industry-to-industry coordination." 



12 DR. GRASSLE: You could have a "however" before the "could 



13 represent." 



14 DR. KRAEUTER: All right. That covers some of those things. 



15 DR. GRASSLE: Then I suggest deleting the comments after the long 



16 hyphens. 



17 DR. KRAEUTER: Yes. I tried to incorporate some of that in there. 



18 DR. GRASSLE: Then, under "Needs," there was a comment earlier to 



19 incorporate "Needs" from page 9, but the problem exists that the three 



20 that were mentioned here were perhaps of more concern than some of the 



21 ones that were listed on page 9. 



22 So maybe we should attempt to prioritize these. 



23 DR. MACIOLEK: I think what exists as written on page 9, though, 



24 is going to come out of that--if anything remains from page 9 it is 



25 going to be incorporated here. 



26 DR. KRAEUTER: So we just try to rebuild it? 



27 DR. GRASSLE: Is there anything on--let's pull out of the things 



28 on page 9 things that someone feels strongly should be added to the list 



29 of "A," "B," "C." 



30 It seems to me that a lot of the things like geochemical and 



31 textural, et cetera, are taken into account by "A." "A "is a pretty all- 



32 encompassing concern. Now, whether it is too general is another issue. 



33 DR. MACIOLEK: There is nothing on page 28 that addresses any 



34 biological data limitations or needs.
