NOAA - a Teacher at Sea programme

It's not only Cefas that has joined the world of openness and fisheries research. The NOAA, our American Oceanic research fellows have a fantastic programme whereby a teacher from anywhere in the US is nominated to join every research trip. Maybe Cefas could run a similar programme in the UK aboard the Cefas Endeavour? Though there's a good chance that many fishermen would feel the industry best served if it was Politician at Sea programme! 

Here's the final entry from American teacher Kaitlin Bird who was lucky enough to be selected for a trip aboard the NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow. 

"Last but NOT least, Did you know? According to the Guiness Book of World Records the American Lobster has been known to reach lengths over 3 ft (0.91 m) and weigh as much as 44 lb (20 kg) or more. This makes it the heaviest marine crustacean in the world! This one was pretty large!!

A big farewell to everyone on the Henry B. Bigelow! 

Thanks so much, I had a great time and learned a lot! Thanks for reading!
