An unplanned change of course by a research ship with @UO_OIMB staff and students on board recently put them in the right place at the right time to save the life of a fisherman whose boat was sinking off the coast of Newport. https://t.co/XFhiKv1HdL
Should have done this earlier but if anyone is interested in following along with our little research cruise TN-391 here is the link for the most amazing blog by WWU’s @dexterity_no ! https://t.co/O3hfbXYjXv
When you make the hard decision to miss your graduation in favor of going to sea—you just might get your diploma from #ROVJason. Congrats @dexterity_no. @NSF@USNavyResearch
As I will be missing the University of Oregon’s graduation ceremony on Monday, I was granted the unique opportunity to receive my bachelors diploma from #ROVJason aboard RV Thomas G. Thompson cruise TN-391 in the Gulf of Mexico! #SALTLarvae

Absolutely disgraceful. In the same week that we learned that sharks have declined by over 70% since 1970 the @NZHerald decide it's a good idea to promote a fishing competition that kills sharks for sport https://t.co/vL57dOOC6w #EndSharkTournaments
70%
A study published on Jan. 27 this year found that oceanic shark and ray species declined by OVER 70% since 1970. The reason? Overfishing - an 18-fold increase, to be exact. This study noted strict science-based catch limits are needed to avoid the loss of whole populations.
