If so, this afternoon, right after school gets out, you need to hightail it to the Bonnie Gool Dock (near the Adorni Center) for a tour of the research vessel Miss Linda and her sidekick, the remotely operated vehicle Beagle, which are on a mission to explore the underwater depths in the marine protected areas off our coast.
Tonight's tour – and indeed, the entire operation; boat, robot, etc. – is sponsored by Marine Applied Research & Exploration, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to “using science-based marine conservation efforts to help protect and restore the ocean's invaluable, yet threatened resources.” One of the organization's current missions is to explore California's Marine Protected Areas in order to gauge, via the Beagle robot, what sort of critters live in the deep, largely unexplored depths.
Tours of the ship are from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. today at the Bonnie Gool dock, with an open house to follow at the local MARE office: 321 Third Street, Eureka. There'll be wine and cheese at the afterparty, as well a selection of the mindblowing wonders of the deep the Beagle has snapped on its various journeys. More information here.
