In addition to the 30 stations in areas A and B, another 3 stations were 

 selected to examine sediments in shallower areas; 3 stations were selected in 

 areas covered by heavy slick when the sea state was high; 2 stations were the 

 the previous Endeavor-002 stations 1 and 2; and 2 stations were selected 

 between Areas A and B. 



Station number system . Stations chosen at random in Area A have the 

 letter "A" as a prefix. Stations chosen at random in Area B have the letter 

 "B" as a prefix. Stations chosen in shallower areas have the letter "C" as 

 a prefix. Stations in areas covered by a heavy slick when the sea state was 

 high have the letter "D" as a prefix. Endeavor-002 stations 1 and 2 have the 

 letter "E" as a prefix. Stations between areas A and B have the letter "F" 

 as a prefix. Additional stations chosen while at sea, based on the results 

 of onboard screening results, will have a letter "G" as a prefix.
