Why I use iNaturalist - I am a nature photography enthusiast. I I like to take photos of organisms that are completely new to me and very much appreciate everyone for teaching me how to properly identify the species in my photos.

I am not a formally trained taxonomist (except for a few sponge species). I do have an appreciation for diversity, especially those of the rare-to-encounter variety as a result of having spent most of my personal and professional life exploring the outdoors. Please have a look at my various ocean-centric projects!

What scientists know about me - I am a professional marine biologist trained through an MSc, PhD, and several postdocs. I lead a niche science program that generates and analyzes data.

Keywords I get tagged with: deep-sea, sponges, hypoxia, seamounts, Antarctica, macrophysiology, benthic mapping, ecological monitoring, photography, cameras, ROVs etc...

Here are some of my observations grouped into categories of interest:

2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020
Marine Biodiversity of the Pacific Northwest
Deep-sea (e.g. ROV cameras, bottom trawls, zooplankton net tows)
Antarctica (including Drake Passage)
In Captivity (e.g. zoo, aquarium, etc.)
UV/Blacklight attracted (365nm and 395nm)
Biomechanics and Behaviour (animated)

I'm not an expert of any one particular group of species. For those interested, I would greatly appreciate ID suggestions on my observations in need of verification!
