ORP’s founder and director is Matt Rutherford (Left), the first person to solo circumnavigate the Americas. Matt traveled 27k miles in 10 months in a tiny sailboat by himself. Check out this podcast on his journey: youtube.com/watch?v=PE33PYvc…

They crossed over to the Bahamas in early January and have spent the past month exploring and "Fish Finding" around Great Harbor Cay, Eleuthera, and the rest of the Exumas before settling in the park.

Fish Finder Team MV Privateer’s Vemco VR2W receiver is currently deployed in Cambridge Cay, Bahamas, where they are February mooring field hosts with the Exumas Land and Sea Park!

This past Thursday, ORP co-founder Nicole Trenholm presented at the Program for Arctic Regional Climate Assessment #PARCA2019 meeting. Our current research seeks to understand how ocean warming is influencing the melting of ice sheets from Greenland to Canada.

The primary objective of our research in Greenland is to learn more about the warm, salty water column that is thought to be melting Greenland’s glaciers from the bottom-up.

Fish Finder Team Amel is traveling between the Bahamas and eastern Florida this winter. Each time they stop, they deploy a receiver to listen for acoustically tagged fish. This week their receiver is deployed near Sampson Cay, Bahamas! In collaboration with @SmithsonianEnv

Our "Fish Finder" Project, a collaboration with @SmithsonianEnv is aimed at filling holes in acoustic telemetry data by working with recreational mariners. Citizen scientists deploy VR2W receivers from their boats each time they stop, essentially "fishing" for tag detections.
