Guess Who’s Back? (Back Again…)

Hey everyone! We’ve been out of contact on this blog for quite some time now. Back in September, the AFS Tidewater Subunit at CBL had some new faces take over executive duties; they are Alex Atkinson (President), Andrea Sylvia (Secretary) and Brian Gallagher (Treasurer). Since March, the subunit has met three times, each time discussing a recent paper in fisheries science.

More recently, the subunit helped organize and set up a display at the Bernie Fowler Wade-in on June 8th and the St. Mary’s County Crab Festival on June 14th. At both of these events, we talked to folks about some of the research focuses here at the lab, particularly fish and shellfish in Chesapeake Bay. In addition, the CBL seine survey, which has been run by Dr. Dave Secor’s lab for 15 years now, kicked off in May and will continue every week until October.

We’re hoping to be more active on the blog up in the coming months, and we hope to report back soon with posts detailing the research currently being done by our subunit members. We hope to get one student research summary posted every two weeks, so stay tuned!
