Abstract:

East Carolina University's new research boat, the Stanley R. Riggs, replaced the Perkins, an old World War II vessel that was not adequate for working in the Pamlico Sound. The ship is operated by university scientists and students in the geology and marine biology departments. It is equipped with everything from devices to measure salinity, to core drills, to trawls to catch fish.
