What scientific equipment do you have to bring on board?

Hi Jessinia! We'll be going out on the boat in August so I'll be able to take pictures of all the equipment we'll be using then. For now, the short answer is that we'll be bringing equipment to conduct water and plankton sampling and measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth. Studying all of these variables will give the researchers a better understanding of what's going on in the marine system where the Bowhead Whales spend much of their time.
