Over 30 years ago the NSF-supported Symbios Expedition to Enewetak Atoll, Marshall Islands, aboard the R/V Alpha Helix, gave science new insights into the metabolism and functioning of coral reefs. Yet, although scientists worldwide know this expedition from the many papers that resulted from it, few know what resources and planning it took to undertake this highly successful research project. The goal of this project is to provide better documentation of this expedition, and in the process, assess its high scientific productivity and the key factors that led to this productivity.

30多年前，NSF支持的Symbios探险队前往R/V Alpha Helix上的Marshall Islands Enewetak环礁，对珊瑚礁的代谢和运作的科学有了新的了解。 然而，尽管全世界的科学家都知道这次探险是从此产生的许多论文中知道的，但很少有人知道进行这项非常成功的研究项目所需的资源和计划。 该项目的目的是为这次探险提供更好的文档，并在此过程中评估其高科学生产力和导致生产力的关键因素。
