DEEPEND at GoMOSES, New Orleans

Posted on March 10, 2017 by whaleweb

In February, WhaleTimes Director Ruth Musgrave joined the DEEPEND Science Team at the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Ecosystem (GoMOSES) annual conference in New Orleans. Several members of the DEEPEND Science Team presented their research through talks, papers, and posters. After the conference concluded, the Team met for their annual all-hands meeting.

Our annual DEEPEND meetings are a fast-paced day when Science Team members shares their latest research and plans. Groups worked together to discuss the research and next steps. Watching the scientists collaborate was an amazing time to see the scientific process in action. So much news. Keep up with the DEEPEND Science Team members and find out more about the latest news at: deependconsortium.org.

Postcard from the DEEPEND: Something Scary for Halloween Pt 2

Posted on October 31, 2015 by whaleweb

Did you identify the scariest thing in the sea? Did you guess jelly, ctenophore, or maybe a salp?

You’d be wrong. One of the scariest things in the sea is trash that escapes from our homes, schools, and lives. If it’s hard for us to identify, you can see why animals like sea turtles, seabirds and others accidently eat trash.
