The Ecosystem Modeling Lab has teamed up with the UM/GMRI modeling lab and the UM bio-oceanography lab to conduct a zooplankton survey of the Maine Coast. The cruise is funded by the Maine Department of Marine Resources, and its goal is to map potential right whale feeding areas. Pete and Nick will be sending regular updates, which I'll be posting here. Here's the first post:
And so begins the voyage. We're here working on the winch at the unh dock. The gear has been unloaded from the Gmri truck. And we have some time to kill before the R/V Stellwagen arrives.
Pete is taking the photo. Nick & I are standing in the foreground. Rebecca is in the background trying to figure out why the winch won't start.
