Memorandum

Assignment: "You are a biological oceanographer studying and documenting the breeding habits of a clam that lives in a depth range of 40 to 140 meters. The clams are found only in the South Pacific about seven days sailing from the closest port. The breeding cycle takes place nightly and lasts 4 to 6 hours."

To conduct this experiment, I would first find a group of fellow biological oceanographers willing to help orchestrate the experiment. We would have multiple fundraisers to help raise money for the mission as well as donate personal money to help move the project along. The first step would to talk with the other biological oceanographers about what exactly we want to discover about the breeding habits of a clam to make the time spent under the water worth it. After we discussed the plan, we would build the submersible. The main thing we would need is a room made entirely up of glass for the oceanographers to observe the clams easily. In that room would be cameras to film the process of the breeding habits as well as tables to conduct lab experiments. Through out the submersible would be obvious necessities such as a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a room to enter and exit the submersible. We would all buy the proper equipment to purchase technology useful to conduct and make this mission easier. The submersible would be made strong enough and well built to withstand being under what at 140 meters.
