In 2023, I had the amazing opportunity to sail as a Teacher At Sea with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the second time. [My first expedition with NOAA was in 2014 on NOAA Ship Thomas Jefferson for a hydrographic survey in the North Atlantic Ocean]
My 2023 journey with NOAA started in 2019 when I applied and was accepted to sail a second time. I was going to sail in 2020 – but then, we know what happened. I was scheduled in 2022 and actually journeyed to Kodiak, Alaska, to join NOAA Ship Oscar Dyson – but then, the delays continued (see Still waiting for my ships to sail… my journey back to the ocean).
The good news (no, GREAT NEWS) is that I was able to head back to Alaska in June 2023 and join Oscar Dyson for Leg 1 of the Gulf of Alaska Summer Alaska Walleye Pollock Acoustic-Trawl Survey. Below are links to the blog posts I wrote for NOAA, which start with a broad overview of NOAA and NOAA Fisheries, then some details about Oscar and Peggy Dyson, our instrumentation and collecting data at sea, and the creative project I carried out on the ship, Stitching the Sky at Sea (also featured on NOAA Teacher At Sea Alumni blog).
