So, for those of you who I work with, please do not read any further; for I have skipped out on work today to participate in some scientific research within the Piedras Blancas Marine Protected Area (and, please, don’t mind the tecates we brought aboard; this is some real research going on folks):
Anyway, today was awesome. Instead of working, our day consisted of steaming for about 2.5 hours up the coast and doing some good old hook and line survey techniques within the Piedras Blancas Marine Protected Area. In total we brought aboard 208 fish, which were tagged, measured and documented, before being released back out into the ocean. Pretty successful, but Lulu mentioned that there have been days were 400+ fish were brought aboard. Whoa! But I gotta say, the highlight of my day was collecting the 5 bucks from Aaron and Travis after I reeled in the monster of the day. Aw yeah…..
