They are a great animal for collecting oceanographic data and giving us updates on ocean conditions in the California Current.

We can now use animals to show us things like the thermal properties and cooling rates of the ocean and the structure of the water column, and they can often get valuable data that would be hard to collect by other means.

We're using these animals as ocean sensors to tell us about oceanographic conditions, and we're also learning how they use the ocean--where they go and what they do.

The Phipps wants us out now, ... I have nowhere to go.

It would suck for me to just be in the studio. We definitely want to tour, but two of us are married so its hard to tour just for the sake of touring. We want our music to heard. We want our songs to be known and for now we're playing locally trying to make that happen.

The Monterey Bay is the poster child of everything we're talking about.
