NOAA Cruise

I was invited to join a group of scientists on board the NOAA ship McArthur II for a ten-day cruise in the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary. The goal was to count marine mammals and seabirds, and collect oceanographic data such as water temperature, salinity, and nutrient samples.
