you can check with Harriet Perry at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in 
Ocean Springs, Mississippi (601)875-2244.  She was a principal investigator on 
several exploratory geryon cruises in the Gulf of Mexico.

Very well put Brett.  As a hatchery Manager I too am rewarded with the sunrise 
and the sunset, and usually working well past the sunset with no overtime pay 
of course...but the job is rewarding and fun to do.  It takes a dedicated 
person to stick with it, I've seen more than my share of people in the 
past 19 years wanting to follow their dreams only to see reality bite them on 
the behind.  It takes more than just liking the outdoors or love of fishing and 
hunting to make it in this career eh?
