This has been a year of transition from SEEP-I to SEEP-II with some introductory attention given to SEEP-III and other post-SEEP-II possibilities. This report reflects this transition in its organization. The papers are still in preparation and analytical work on SEEP-I data and samples is still in progress. Activities included sediment trap development and the testing and the analysis of samples obtained in those tests. Specific planning for the scientific and logistical details of SEEP-II continues. 1 tab.
