We had a great time hosting US Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for some black sea bass fishing and sampling to celebrate his help in securing funding to continue our Black Sea Bass Research Fleet project! 🎣
We were joined by long-time project collaborator Jason McNamee of RIDEM and spent the morning on one of our Research Fleet participant vessels, the F/V Priority Too. We had a beautiful day on the water and collected data on 100 black sea bass for the project! Thanks again to Senator Whitehouse and his staff to ensuring this data collection will continue until at least 2030! Check out the video below for a recap of our day!
