I decided this year to get tattoo's of all the animals I have studied over the years. I started my career in the love lab in 1999 counting juvenile rockfish off the coast of Santa Barbara, the channel Islands and the Oil rigs. It was one of the funnest jobs I have had. After working for Milton I started working for NOAA in the National Marine fisheries division. I started working on stock assessments of rockfish using an ROV and was fortunate enough to work with Milton again on a few surveys. I worked on Deep sea coral with the ROV lab. So there are some Dendrophyllia tree corals. I now work on restoring the White Abalone off southern california so I had the tagged abalone that I put out in the wild tattooed on my foot. It is still a work in progress and there will be more juvenile rockfish in the future. -Scott Mau
