Longline day with @soseusm Marine Ichthyology! 5 elasmo species and 1 teleost. Tagging and release of Blacktips, Spinners, Sharpnose, Bulls, and Finetooth. Thanks to CFRD staff @akmillender@swamp_daemon and TA @greenbeath for their help!

Not everything is for able-bodied people. Some are thoughtful enough to make a way for those who have reduced mobility to get their socks on. Never forget to appreciate the little things you CAN do, because putting your socks on can be a whole different world for someone else.
