We’re online people! No sooner had I finished writing my blog from last week when Bob Swingle uploaded to both YouTube and ODFW’s website\u00a0my first video: a brief assessment of Redfish Rocks MR\/MPA. This was actually the video I made for my advisor Mike for his presentation. I wanted to use it as kind of a ‘test run’. I’m ‘planning’ to complete a more rounded highlight video of Redfish. I’m amazed at how\u00a0time-consuming it is\u00a0to sift through video and get it together. Here it is:<\/div>\n

My second video took a bit more work. Since I am concentrating in fish biology for my biology major, I’m a bit\u00a0partial to them, which is why I began with a fish species video from Redfish Rocks. Most of the\u00a015 species in this video are\u00a0rockfish.\u00a0Keep in mind that while I managed to\u00a0find footage for\u00a0these\u00a015 species, they definitely don’t occur in equal frequencies.\u00a0I see blue and black rockfish the most with kelp greenling following in third.\u00a0The yelloweye rockfish\u00a0clip was especially hard to find. I also plan on making an invertebrate species video and\u00a0a habitat video by the end of this week. Here’s the fish video:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So what’s on the agenda for\u00a0this week? Next week is our final symposium for Sea Grant where we will be presenting our projects. I’d like to present a somewhat partial representation of our GoogleMap interface at that time so I’m going to try to get that put together. I’m not sure I’ll complete the Cape Perpetua hypoxia series video by then but I am going to try my best! I am going to be very busy until next weekend. I might be going out on an ROV cruise later this week. I’m a little apprehensive about it because I’m not sure how\u00a0I’ll fare with the waves, and, I have\u00a0so much work to\u00a0do!\u00a0It sounds exciting though! As a ending note: many thanks to Bob Swingle for his\u00a0help, input, and time.<\/div>\n

I was actually pretty scared of the claws here<\/p><\/div>\n

This weekend Lauren and I took advantage of two of\u00a0Oregon’s delicious resources: crabs and blueberries. Friday night\u00a0Lauren and I headed down to Waldport for a midnight high tide. We set up camp with several other groups of\u00a0crabbers on the docks. After Lauren gave me a good introduction on how to bait, set up, and throw\u00a0the traps we were in business. For the first hour or so our traps were getting plenty of crabs – but they\u00a0usually either\u00a0too small or female. As time wore on, however, we began to get fewer crabs\u00a0and larger males. Let me tell you – the anticipation of pulling up a\u00a0big crab and flipping it over to reveal whether or not it is male or female is\u00a0intense. Everytime we flipped a legal male I freaked out! Point blank, what a GREAT experience! At the end of the night, tired and damp as we were, we had very happily caught four male dungeness crabs. The next day (after hitting up Newport’s Saturday market –\u00a0where I\u00a0purchased some amazingly good salsa and tomatoes) we cooked ’em up!<\/p>\n

Saturday evening I accompanied Lauren to a small work party which was super fun because I got to get to talk to\u00a0some people who I had only previously been introduced. Sunday we went blueberry picking in Corvallis. We had wanted to get rasberries as well but that\u00a0place\u00a0was closed. I’m pretty sure I got enough blueberries to make up for it though!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
