My Top Scallop Survey Moment: Right Place at the Right Time for a Right Whale

Field Fresh Blog: Science in Motion

Biological Science Technician Zach Fyke participated in all three legs of the 2024 Atlantic Sea Scallop Survey. He got to see and experience some pretty incredible things, including seeing his first right whale, puffins, a huge halibut, and more.

A color image taken on a sunny day from the deck of a commercial clam vessel. The lower half of the image shows the deck, the twin dredges mounted to the stern of the fishing vessel, and the conveyor belt that moves the catch from the dredges to the ship. The container ship is in the middle right side of the image, stacked with containers, sitting on the horizon. The word “cosco” is painted in large letters on its side.
