    […] The InterRidge Monitoring and Observatories Working Group organized II MoMAR Workshop. The goals of this meeting were: 1) to establish a realistic short (< 5 years) and long-term (> 5 years) plan of experiments to monitor the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the MoMAR area; 2) to have a better definition of the geographical scope and targets of the MoMAR project; 3) to establish the basis for the data and site management associated with MoMAR projects, and 4) to decide on the follow-up structure of MoMAR. This II Workshop is convened at the same time as two Letters of Intention for European projects (See Appendix IV) have been submitted to the VI European Framework Science Program for future consideration. In addition, a more specific Vent-Sites Management Workshop took place immediately after the II MoMAR Workshop (see supplement 4 of Arquipélago). The first day (15 June) of the Workshop was dedicated to summary talks on different scientific disciplines (biology, hydrothermalism, geology and geophysics) and on the planning and philosophy of the Ridge2000 Integrated Sites, followed by short discussions. These sessions were intended to provide a common basis of understanding of the needs, scientific goals, and limitations for each discipline, required to establish effective interdisciplinary projects. The second day (16 June) was dedicated to three series of discussions by Working Groups. At the request of the biological community, two disciplinary groups (Biology and Earth Sciences Working Groups) were established to briefly outline their goals. These were followed by discussions on site projects and planning (Lucky Strike Working Group and Rainbow, Menez Gwen and larger MoMAR area Working Group). The afternoon was dedicated to more general discussions on management and future requirements for the implementation of MoMAR (Data Management Working Group, MoMAR site Management Working Group, and Technology Development Working Group). The morning of the last day (17 June) was dedicated to presentation of results of the different Working Groups, and the discussion of the follow-up structure for MoMAR.
