Sea cucumbers are being harvested in #AtlanticCanada but little is known about the species itself. Our video, in collaboration NSERC / CRSNG, shows how marine researchers at Acadia University are working with Ocean Pride Fisheries Ltd, a local fishery, to learn more about this creature.

Congratulations! #AcadiaU records Canada’s third-highest percent increase in corporate research income in its class! Learn more: qoo.ly/33it76 #researchmatters

Sometimes work is just a walk on the beach! 😎 (...a 10+km walk, in the heat, on uneven cobble...) This week we succeeded in the hunt for a beached PSAT tag that popped off an Atlantic halibut #MUN #DFOscience

Our Otter team flew over an adult blue whale yesterday. Such large creatures - even from 800 feet overhead

All the smiles of a girl who just survived 3 days of seasickness and finally got to handle some big fish 😎. Over the weekend I headed a collaborative mission b/w OTN, DFO, AcadiaU and industry to acoustic and satellite tag some Atlantic Halibut DFO Maritimes Ocean Tracking Network Acadia University

Merry Christmas from the Grey Seal colony on Sable Island 🎄🌊

Things are exciting in the halibut world! This past fall, with industry and academic collaborators, I started the the tagging which will continue this spring. It’s awesome to work with such passionate industry partners who value the science we do together cbc.ca/news/canada/no…
