Kenenth Esquivel
Hi am Kenneth Esquivel Iam a part of this year's Spring Plankton Cruise on the Gordon Gunter. Iam an Assistant Fisheries Officer from the country of Belize, in representation of the Belize Fisheries Department. This is something new for me but geeez iam enoying every second of it learning and seeing new stuff for the first time. Presently iam working in the night shift "also" with Estrella and Sennai who have been teaching me the methodologies and protocols of plankton collection and i think aim getting pretty well at it.
