Crab condo sampling and then Hurricane Matthew...

Two weeks ago, our lab made its first excursion to sample our crab condos along the Pamlico and Neuse rivers. It was for the most part very successful, and we should have some very interesting data come out of it. Below are some pictures of our team collecting data from the condos and putting them back out for continued sampling over the year. Given, the recent impacts of Hurricane Matthew in eastern North Carolina and river flooding, we hope our condos have survived the onslaught. We will be checking up on them in a couple weeks to find out, after the waters have receded to more normal levels.
