Trip 1 occurred in 1955 with observations on water density and temperature. Trip 2 was in 1957, and measurements were taken on water temperature, salinity, oxygen and Pearl-Benson Index values of sulfite waste liquor. Trip 3 was made in May of 1960 to gather information on a specific area around Nahcotta.

Starting with trip 4, in August of 1960, a continuing series of combined hydrographic and productivity trips were made. A total of 50 trips were conducted which ended in October 1968.
