Accompanied by digital video clip highlighting the original video footage from Mission III, July 27 through August 5, 2002.
Accompanied by digital image collection comprising 18 annotated images, entitled: Islands in the Stream 2002: exploring underwater oases. Leg 3, Highlight photos.
"The successful cruise included 23 submersible dives that resulted in 29 hours of digital video of Lophelia reef habitat and fauna in areas not previously surveyed for biology. In all, more than 56 hours of fathometer transects and 24 hours of Tucker trawls and SeaCat CTD's were completed."

Abstract:
"The science party for this leg of the expedition consisted of two groups of scientists from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution. The first group searched for previously undiscovered compounds in marine organisms that may be able to study, treat, or diagnose human diseases. The samples collected primarily consisted of sponges and octocorals. The second project focused on enhancing our understanding of how bottom-dwelling organisms visualize their environment, particularly with regard to bioluminescence"--Mission summary home page.
