This morning som West-Saharan (Moroccoan) fishers came up to our research vessel asking for water and food (which we gave them). Interesting shape of these short vessels with high & broad bows made to handle the large swells of NW Africa. #EAFNansen
Off Western Sahara in NW Africa @ng. We're doing a survey as part of the #EAFNansen programme
I'm currently off NW Africa on a pelagic fish survey for the #EAFNansen programme. We're on our way to our first acoustic transect, and today it was time for trawl-testing

A proper #introduction is a good way to start a new life here on #Mastodon

I work at the Institute of Marine Research in 🇳🇴 on marine/fisheries development aid projects, mainly through the #EAFNansen programme. A marine mammal biologist by training, but have moved on to Marine Spatial planning, Ecosystem modeling, Fish stock assessment & lots of other stuff I’ve found interesting on the way.
