HSWRI says good bye to Capt. Phil Harris

We are saddened to learn of the death of Phil Harris, beloved captain on the Discovery Channel's popular show “Deadliest Catch.” Last July, Hubbs Research Scientist, Mike Shane, had the pleasure of appearing on the program's spinoff, "After the Catch" where he an opportunity to sit down with Phil and some of the other captains to discuss some of the stranger looking sea creatures they have caught over the years. Mike had a great time meeting all of them and will not forget the experience.  Here are a couple photos of the gang and Mike on the set of "After the Catch" in Pacific Beach, California.

Dr. Brent Stewart on whale shark expedition--November 2, 2009
Check out this amazing video of HSWRI senior research scientist, Dr. Brent Stewart, who is being interviewed by Lene Topp from WWF Denmark during a whale shark expedition in the Philippines expedition last June. There is some beautiful underwater footage of whale sharks as well as Brent and his collaborators and colleagues from WWF and the local Donsol community team tagging the sharks. During this trip they were able to place 11 tags on 10 sharks. Since May 2009, 44 tags were out on whale sharks in addition to 45 whale sharks tagged in 2008, making this the largest whale whark tracking program in the world. View Now
