It was 1999, and my life was about to change. I had just completed my studies in biology and was selected to work for GREMM as a research assistant. Whether it was aboard cruise ships or GREMM\u2019s research vessel, my main role was to photo-ID and tally individuals of the various species of large whales that visit the St. Lawrence Estuary year after year. During my stints from 1999 to 2001, 2014, 2016, and now each of the past five summers, I have witnessed how the equipment we use in the field has evolved over time. I will therefore attempt to share these changes with you, as well as the long-standing interest I have in this work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
