Hi everyone!

Heather J. here to share that we have successfully finished the fifty first trawl of our Deep Sea Benefits cruise series in the Gulf of Mexico and are on our way back to port in Gufport, MS!

My name is Liv Foley and I’m the deckhand/cadet on the R/V Point Sur. I go to Maine Maritime Academy (MMA) and am doubling majoring in Marine Biology and Small Vessel Operations.

Hi everyone!  Stormie Collins, a post-doc in Heather Bracken-Grissom's lab at FIU and I am going to chat about my favorite group of animals- crustaceans!

Hi everyone, it’s Nina checking in from the Deep-sea Benefits 3 (DSB3) cruise aboard the R/V Point Sur! I am a graduate student in the Crustomics Lab at Florida International University using environmental DNA (eDNA) to explore patterns of biodiversity in the Gulf.
