I had the opportunity to spend time with and speak in depth to scientists Barbara Taylor and Tim Gerrodette of the NOAA Fisheries Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.
I wanted to learn more about the purpose of the expedition in Mexico, the science behind the visual survey, and explore the new acoustic technologies they were assessing to monitor the vaquita population throughout the year.
