Salmon habitat restoration work is not for everyone—think heavy lifting, unpredictable weather, and sometimes remote locations. You’ll definitely get your feet wet. All this is necessary, however, if we’re going to save wild salmon from extinction.
It’s hard to imagine science without technology and as technology advances, scientists can do research and follow lines of inquiry that would’ve been difficult if not impossible to do in the past.
Computer technology has had a huge impact in marine fisheries science, both in land-based labs and in field work at sea. Nowhere is that more evident than aboard fisheries resource surveys. Automating the way vessel sensor and biological data are re
