This year, we will be providing measuring tapes so everyone can be a #CitizenScientist! After a fun day of fishing, go to "Newfoundland and Labrador Recreational Groundfish Fishing Log 2020". Your feedback is important and will help @DFO_NL Science! surveymonkey.com/r/KVRL7X3

Let me know how you did at surveymonkey.com/r/KVRL7X3
If you are participating in the #NLRecFishery this week, remember, for safety reasons, fishing is only permitted from one hour before sunrise until one hour after sunset.
Today wraps up the second weekend of the NL Recreational Groundfish Fishery. After a fun day of fishing, go to the "Newfoundland and Labrador Recreational Groundfish Fishing Log 2020". Your feedback is important and will help @DFO_NL Science! surveymonkey.com/r/KVRL7X3

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to all the teachers and administrators who helped spread the word about #CitizenCod2020! I have a huge list of outstanding applicants that I've really enjoyed interviewing. The hard part will be narrowing down the list! #agoodproblemtohave
Happy #WorldOceansDay to all the groundfish off the coast of NL. The future #CitizenCod2020 students and I can't wait until we can measure you! @DFO_NL

World Oceans Day is going virtual this year! And to celebrate, #WODNL is holding a province-wide art contest! Check out the details below and follow the NL World Oceans Day Facebook page at facebook.com/WODNL/
I've gotten lots of questions from students & teachers all over the province about #FSWEP and #CitizenCod20 The truth is, everything is going to look different this summer, but applying to #FSWEP is always a good idea and all questions can be sent to hilary.rockwood@dfo-mpo.gc.ca

The @Nature_NL Wild Things scholarship is still open! The deadline is Thursday, April 30th. naturenl.ca/wild-things/
I can't believe I forgot to retweet this on #IWD2020. We have so many hardworking young women who work with the #CitizenCod program and I am proud to be a mentor and role model for #WomenInSTEM
#BecauseOfYou, the world is changing. Let’s work today – and everyday – to advance gender equality and women’s rights. Happy International Women's Day from us at Fisheries and Oceans Canada. #WomensDay #IWD2020

For those of you catching cabin fever a little early, check out @MontereyAq's Kelp Forest Cam and transport yourself to a sunny, California kelp forest!
We get by with a little help from our fronds—and the Kelp Forest Cam! pscp.tv/w/cT--dDE2ODQ4NzF8MU…

I'm hitting the road to talk about #science, #CitizenCod, and #DFO. This is my dream job and I love sharing it with students! Plus, it's never too early to learn how to be employable! @NLESDCA

I'm looking for science and career teachers interested in having me speak to your class about #science, #CitizenCod, and #DFO. Get in touch with me and I'll be sending out emails planning face to face meetings with your classes! It's never too early to learn how to be employable!

In honour of International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we want to recognize one of our own, Dr. Joanne Morgan. She was the first female scientist to work in the groundfish division at #DFONL and has made incredible contributions to #DFOScience. #WomenInScience

Our #CitizenCod students measured a lot of big cod during this year's Recreational Groundfish fishery. What was the biggest? This 111-cm giant caught in Hant’s Harbour on the last day.
