Hi Everyone!

We are heading back to the dock today and can't believe the trip is almost over!  All we have left is to enter data, clean the nets, clean and pack everything in the lab and disassemble the acoustics equipment- all by 8 am tomorrow morning!  This post is all about the animals as we wanted to share just a few images of the amazing creatures we have collected during this trip.  

We can't thank the crew of the R/V Point Sur enough for this safe and amazing research cruise.  We also would like to shout out CSA, Continental Shelf Associates for our MOC10 operator, Gray- without him, we wouldn't have animals to work with!  The support from our organizations and universities has been consistent throughout the DEEPEND program which we truly appreciate. 

See you next year for our next adventure!
