Two photos of the same two people. Left: an older photo of one man in a tie and the other in his childhood years. Right: a current photo of the two smiling in t-shirts, both adults. Then and now: Andy Ostrowski (fisheries biologist and blog author) and Steve Brown when Andy was in seventh grade (left) and prior to departing the dock for a 10-day Southeast Fishery-Independent Survey (right). While both are a little bit grayer haired, not much else has changed! Photos courtesy of Andy Ostrowski and Steve Brown.

The view looking down to a lower deck of a ship and the ocean from an upper deck. An inflatable boat is alongside the ship, and a yellow glider in the water on the other side of the inflatable boat. Several people are in the boat and on the ship, attaching a rope to the glider so it can be lifted out of the water. The crew of the M/Y Hanse Explorer, alongside U.S. AMLR personnel, prepare to lift AMLR01 out of the water. Credit: NOAA Fisheries
