The Marine Reserves team participated in a West Coast wide SCUBA workshop this month. During this meeting we met with other programs to discuss data compatibility and the value of long-term SCUBA monitoring data.

Our collaborators at OSU just published findings on how rockfish siblings travel settle together in the Proceedings of the Nationals Academy of fishSciences. These data were collected during our juvenile fish recruitment surveys (SMURFs) at Otter Rock and Redfish Rocks. Read their paper or learn more about our SMURF project.
