Confirming the rumours are true. Our gap year is over. "Europe's largest fish counter" is deployed. Tag way, all ye trackers! Detections will be shared. Courtesy of #STRAITS @loughsagency @FoylePort and some of the hardest working SOs in the biz: @Fishterious Rachel Morgan 💪💪
And finally, the last array of our #STRAITSproject is tracking the movement of fish between the Irish Sea and the Atlantic Ocean - the SeaMonitor array! 🐟🦈 the array is a continuation of the @SeaMonitor1 project, and is being (re)deployed this very moment!! #trackingnotslacking

Living legends, the pair of 'em. Another favourite OTN quote of ours is "The difference between science and fooling around is writing it down."
Celebrating a year of hard work AND the end of an era! Sara retired at the end of 2023 and Fred will step down later this month. Thanks for leading OTN for 15 years. It will always be “another day in paradise” because of you!
