At its maximum extent in the early spring, antarctic pack ice covers an         area roughly equal to that of the antarctic continent; by late summer           only remnants remain in the Weddell Sea and other coastal areas. Thus,          the ice edge zone is a major feature of the antarctic region and one            that includes most of the surrounding seas at some time during the              annual cycle. Productivity at the ice edge appears to be higher than in         either the open ocean or pack-ice region, and it has been hypothesized          that the ice edge is an important feeding area for birds and mammals. A         multidisciplinary program was developed to obtain data on the physics,          chemistry, and biology of the ice-edge zone in order to better                  understand the overall importance of the ice edge for antarctic                 productivity and ecology. Garrison's project is one component of this           program AMERIEZ (Antarctic Marine Ecosystem Research at the Ice Edge            Zone).  This project is now in its final analysis and synthesis stage.          This project will complete the examination of the protozoans in the             vicinity of the ice edge to determine their abundance, distribution,            species composition, and role in the food web. This is an Accomplishment        Based Renewal.
