The Prentice transect survey has run monthly since 2004. Its latest analysis questions an assumption built into a great deal of coastal management.

The student competition team finished third at a regional autonomous underwater vehicle event, in the first year they had a basin to test in.
Thirty meters long, five deep, with a wave maker at one end. The basin opened in January and was fully booked within a month.
A glider flew repeat sections across the shelf break for eleven days without intervention and returned a complete record, including two exchange events.
Six weeks, two mooring recoveries and one redeployment. The recovered instruments hold a full year of measurements from a site that cannot be visited in winter.
