Bongo Net Deployment Field Test Aboard FV Temptress

Earlier this fall, CFF partnered with the FV Temptress to conduct a one-day field test of bongo net deployment aboard a commercial scallop vessel. The trip allowed the team to practice and refine deployment and retrieval procedures for the dual-net system. 

We also had the opportunity to test a real-time depth sensor prototype developed by local technology company Acbotics Research. 

Thank you to the captain and crew of the FV Temptress, Acbotics Research, and RSA funding for supporting this field effort!
