Scientist John Reed wrapped his computer and bag in a large trash bag and left on the digny this morning, because he's attending the South Atlantic Fisheries Management Council meeting in Miami. There, he'll be filling in the council -- which is responsible for protecting the fish habitat and fishery throughout the Atlantic Ocean -- on the latest research ... including this trip, which has yet to be finished!
While he's briefing the officials, I took advantage of being close to shore (cell phones are ringing!) and talked with Doug Phillips from WXEL Sun-Sentinel News. He asked me about the submersible and the ship, and will use it in an upcoming news broadcast. He said he'll also be sharing the tape with WQCS, another radio partner of Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers which is based in Fort Pierce. So listen in for that report!
