From Melissa Foley, Apr 8, 2015 at 10:29 AM PDT:
the equipment is borrowed from the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, one of our collaborators on the Elwha project. Jon will not be in the field. Jeff Duda, from the USGS Western Fisheries Research Center and Sarah Morley from NOAA will be in the field with me for part of the time.
