Anchor location bottom specimens can be sent to be analyzed with wave, current and wind data, all to compile an "average" of holding strength and ''average'' reset-ability in "types" of bottoms in "types of conditions in North America.

I would prefer a catchier name and would like to nominate the Center for Research of Anchor Properties.
