Christopher Dunagan says:Jim Balsiger, acting assistant administrator for NOAA’s Fisheries Service: “As one of the quietest research vessels in the world, Bell M. Shimada produces so little background noise that we can count fish and assess the health and behavior of marine species with highly sensitive acoustic devices. The vessel will support ecosystem research that is essential to sustaining and rebuilding fisheries.”
