@CaityBate looks like fun! how do I get my hands on a buff if I'm not at the conference? 😅

[Danni Harper @dannilharper1]

Things are exciting in the halibut world!
This past fall, with industry and academic collaborators, I started the the tagging which will continue this spring. It’s awesome to work with such passionate industry partners who value the science we do together https://t.co/b7EfH2RVHP

All the smiles of a girl who just survived 3 days of seasickness and finally got to handle some big fish 😎. Over the weekend I headed a collaborative mission b/w OTN, DFO, AcadiaU and industry to acoustic and satellite tag some Atlantic Halibut @DFO_MAR @OceanTracking @AcadiaU

Our Otter team flew over an adult blue whale yesterday. Such large creatures - even from 800 feet overhead

Sometimes work is just a walk on the beach! 😎 (...a 10+km walk, in the heat, on uneven cobble...)
This week we succeeded in the hunt for a beached PSAT tag that popped off an Atlantic halibut #MUN #DFOscience

@MontanaMcLean Hahaha I’m a FW drum too! Riley is definitely a Burbot though, he’s thriving in the social distancing #introvert 😂

Sea cucumbers are being harvested in #AtlanticCanada but little is known about the species itself.
Our video, in collaboration @NSERC_CRSNG, shows how marine researchers at @AcadiaU are working with Ocean Pride Fisheries Ltd, a local fishery, to learn more about this creature.
