Congratulations to Dean Hernandez who presented his MS thesis research on counting Atlantic menhaden (bunker) from drone surveys and from space ! Also present were a flock of Dean doppelgangers.

With the start of the fall semester today, I wanted to thank everybody in the ALES lab (plus Consuelo who wasn't present for the lab pic) for a great summer of fieldwork, lab work, data analysis, and odd lab snacks. These are the people who make our science move forward ! @SoMAS

Grad student Dean Hernandez (and some old guy) was interviewed on WLIW this AM to promote his Geek talk on bunker and the various animals that eat them at Ubergeek Brewery in Riverhead this Thursday (Aug 21). Talk starts at 8pm. @SoMAS @WLIWfm wliw.org/radio/captivate-pod…

Nice work by Shelby Bloom and the @Scripps_AEL gang. Happy to be a part of the team.
New study uses passive and active acoustics with oceanographic sampling to examine how cetaceans are impacted by prey responses to the physical environment, offering insights into predator–prey dynamics and informing management strategies

Good week for the lab ! Successfully recovered two misbehaving instruments: bottom lander echosounder w Paige, Megan, dive buddy Brittney, and some hitchhikers; and our moored SeapHox brought back by Toniann and Tyler ! So much new data to explore! @SoMAS

And we are off on leg 1 of the VAMPIRE - BATS cruise in Bermuda w the team from @BIOSstation, @URIGSO, and @SoMAS Despite its name, the VAMPIRE instrument works both day and night.

After 3 weeks of being weathered out, we got a lovely day yesterday to drop a WARBLER at our wind farm study site. Thanks to Capt Brian and crew Laurence and Anthony for the help.

Lots of gear on the FV Miss Emily as we (NOAA, Syracuse U, Ocean Alliance, WHOI, and Stony Brook) head out to Cape Cod Bay to look for copepods (ok, that's just me, everybody else is looking for right whales)

Nice conditions for the fearless (and hopefully not frozen) foursome on our final 2024 EcoPod sampling trip.

Recovered our final turtle tag of the season today. 6 successful deployments - 3X our count from last summer! Huge thanks to Capts: Greg, @fishguyphotos, and Chris W and Brian @somas for assisting us w tag pick up. And to @NYMarineRescue for the turtles !

Congrats to @melissaleone_ - her 2nd MS thesis paper was recently published in JASA. Check it out if you want to know more about cod and weakfish at NY's artificial reefs ! And some dolphin info too. doi.org/10.1121/10.0026461 @acousticsorg @SoMAS

Had to do a quick sunrise swim, but recovered our first turtle tag of the season. These data will help us understand what sea turtles (like Mustang here) are doing when they are in New York. USFWS permit# ES70311D @somas @stonybrooku @NYMarineRescue

Brief tangent from lab science as the @somas Flukes & Flounderers beach volleyball teams got to watch horseshoe crabs in their mating huddles last night after our games. Unsure of the chances of true crustacean love as a few crabs attempted to canoodle with a rock and my foot.

Want to see how Hamptons helicopter and private jet flights vary over a week ? Or how often fishing boats visit NY's artificial reefs ? Check out @MelissaLeone_ first pub from her @SoMAS MS thesis - using passive acoustics to study local soundscapes. authors.elsevier.com/a/1j9OG…
