What I'll be doing on my trip!

So, in March of this year I found out that as part of NOAA's Teacher at Sea program, I'd be setting sail on a fisheries research ship out of Kodiak, Alaska during the month of June.  On the trip, I'll be collecting data on the pollack population around the Gulf of Alaska.  You've probably had pollack before- or at least seen it somewhere- it's what you get at fast food restaurants, in the frozen fish sticks, and the imitation crab you get in your sushi rolls. 
NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson- my home for 3 weeks!
I'm leaving in about two weeks, and will give you more updates soon!  Can't wait to go!
