Greetings!

If you'd like to volunteer on the 2019 Fall Bottom Trawl Survey aboard 
NOAA Ship /Henry B. Bigelow/, your help would be greatly 
appreciated!   Volunteers are a very important part of our program.

We need the help of every scientist and volunteer who sails.  You do not 
need to be a scientist to volunteer, but must have a keen interest in 
what we do and a willingness to work hard alongside our scientists. The 
information below explains how to sign up for a cruise. Please be aware 
that we work twelve-hour shifts, which means that you may be standing on 
your feet for twelve hours. Therefore, please only sign up for a cruise 
if you are serious about making the commitment.  If there is an 
emergency, or you anticipate that you will not be able to participate on 
a cruise that you are scheduled for, please contact me immediately.

Helpful information for new participants on what to expect at sea and 
what to bring on the survey can be found in the *Preparing for a Cruise 
*tab of the website.

Three easy steps toward volunteering on a survey:

You must be at least 18 years of age. Volunteers are responsible for all 
travel related expenses.  While at sea, all meals will be provided by 
the vessel.

1. Submit a *volunteer questionnaire* with the dates you are available 
to participate.  If space is available, you will receive confirmation to 
participate on a cruise.

2. Wait to hear confirmation that you have been 
scheduled.  Confirmations are sent as early as possible and not later 
than three weeks prior to departure.  If we are not able to find 
berthing for you, you will have the option of being placed on standby 
status to fill in if there is a cancellation.

3. After you receive confirmation that you are scheduled for a cruise, 
submit a *medical form 
<https://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/femad/ecosurvey/mainpage/forms.html>* that 
lists all medical conditions to the Health Services Office.   Please 
list NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow as your project ship.

As noted on the health form, you must have a *negative TB test 
<https://www.nefsc.noaa.gov/femad/ecosurvey/mainpage/forms.html>* (taken 
within the last 12 months).  If it is out of date, you will need to 
obtain one at your expense.  Please submit both your medical form and TB 
test results at the same time.  Medical clearances must be completed and 
confirmed two weeks prior to the scheduled departure date.  Please 
contact the Health Services Office for the status of your medical 
clearance.
