Summary: R/V Gyre will field a passive acoustics and visual survey and habitat characterization for sperm whales in the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) for 3 weeks in May-June 2003. Hereafter called Gyre Leg1, this survey will be followed by a 3 week Gyre Leg2 S-tag cruise to radio tag sperm whales. Gyre Leg1 will be staged out of Galveston TX and will be at sea from 31 May to 21 June 2003. SWSS PIs who will ride this Leg1 survey will be Doug Biggs, Jonathan Gordon, Nathalie Jaquet, Dan Engelhaupt, and John Wormuth. These PIs and their supporting teams, and Sarah Tsoflias from MMS, constitute a 25 person science party (see Table 1). It is presently planned that Gyre Leg1 will sweep the 800-1000 m isobath of the northern Gulf of Mexico from about 95°W to about 85°W, during the time that R/V Ewing is at sea and when this latter research vessel is expected to carry out concurrent passive acoustics monitoring of sperm whales in the Mississippi Canyon area and in/around one or more commercial geophysical seismic surveys in the north central GOM. As time permits or as bad weather conditions unfavorable to small boat operations may dictate (see below), Gyre Leg1 may also investigate the abundance of sperm whales and squid in one or more regions of cyclonic circulation along the eastern side of DeSoto Canyon and south along the eastern wall of the Loop Current. Basis for Leg1 Planning: We have attempted to factor into our planning for this cruise the political reality that MMS is extremely interested in ascertaining more clearly when and where groups of sperm whales are located off the Texas continental margin. The reason is that the oil and gas development is moving into Texas as well as Louisiana areas of the northern Gulf of Mexico continental margin. From previous SWAMP and SWSS fieldwork in summers 2000, 2001, and 2002, we know that sperm whales can be locally abundant off the Louisiana continental margin in June-July-August. In fact, most of our previous
