ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The authors would like to thank Laura L. Zink, who drafted the illustrations, and John Chin of for his thoughtful review. We would also like to thank Kathleen Dadey of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pacific Ocean Division, Fort Shafter, Hawaii and Allan Ota of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, San Francisco for the funding the project and the inter-agency cooperation that made this possible. Special thanks go the captain and crew of the University Of Hawaii's research vessel R/V Kila and Marine Center for their logistical help, professional manner and ship handling skill during mobilization and data collection. Thanks are also due to Dr. Julie Bailey-Brock of the University of Hawaii, and her team of enthusiastic students who performed all the biological subsampling. Working with her team of researchers and the crew of the R/V Kila was an entirely fruitful and enjoyable endeavor. Finally a big thanks goes to the U.S. Geological Survey's Marine Facility and the superb technical help provided by Steve Wallace, Walt Olson, Kevin O'Toole, Larry Kooker, John Gann, and Henry Chezar. Without the help of all involved this field program would not have been successful.
