While it is thrilling contributing to the great pillar that
is science, some of my favorite moments are generated from
unearthing something new and interesting almost every time I’m out in the
field.
Today while I was digging up some oysters in order to
install a sediment trap, I was surprised when a fish skipped out of the muddy
hole and landed nearby. And then while trying to re-home him nearby, he happily
chomped down on the end of my garden cultivator. Can’t say I entirely blame
him. I both caved in the walls of his condo and then unceremoniously moved him
an inconvenient distance from it.
