Abstract The Current Meter and Sediment Trap Recovery Shelf Chemistry on the Africana Voyage 114, June 1993 was conducted from 21 June 1993 to June 30 1993. The main objectives of the cruise were to recover and redeploy the inshore time series current meter array deployed in 168m off Cape Columbine. To locate and attempt recovery of the inshore current meter deployed in 132m off Hondeklip Bay; to locate and attempt recovery of the offshore current meter sediment trap array deployed in 686m off Hondeklip Bay; to attempt location and recovery of the offshore current meter array deployed in 278m off Cape Columbine. To conduct research into the shelf geochemistry on a line off Hondeklip Bay and, if time, in St Helena Bay and to conduct a survey of nearshore dissolved oxygen in the vicinity of Port Nolloth to link in with research on Namagualand stocks being undertaken by the Rock Lobster section.
