In this episode, we continue our mini-series aboard NOAA's ship and join Allison Black and her guest Heidi Malicia, a marine mammal scientific observer, as they discuss their work in counting protected species like whales, and dolphins. Heidi talks about how they use the "big eyes" to contribute to an ongoing research project. This project, the Atlantic Marine Assessment Program, is focused on identifying and counting protected species. Heidi shares her favorite aspect of her job, and what people would think might be surprised to know about life at sea.
