Hi, Barney! Glad to see you are out exploring again! What fun! I noticed you flew into Dillingham where my husband used to work with the salmon fisherman ( he installed electronics on the boats). Anyway, my daughter Emily is studying population genetics with polykeets (worms) and I wondered if any of your scientists came across these and studied them as well. She has been looking into how pollution has affected them in the Hawaiian Islands, but I would think they and other species would be adersely affected not only by pollution but climate change as well. It would be great to hear of your travels when you get back. Take care, Marilyn Krause
