Asked by Jim on Sep 18, 2004.
I don't see Carlos Eyles or Jim Watt on this year's participant list. Eyles' emotive Journals and Watts' captivating photos were the highlight of your website.
Are they not on this expedition?
Answered by Dan Suthers (Univ. of Hawaii) onboard the Hi`ialakai at the on Sep 19, 2004.
Jim,
Carlos Eyles and Jim Watt are not on this expedition. NOWRAMP 2002
included a substantial education and outreach effort conducted by a team
of 8 people. This year, the emphasis is more on the science. There are 3
of us in the education/outreach category. Two photographers, David
Liitschwager and Susan Middleton, are aboard to complete a book on the
NWHI. My role is "science writer," and my job is to help the general
public understand the science being conducted in the NWHI and the
reasons why it is important. I will also be working with K12 schools via
my other job (see http://hnlc.org). Therefore you will find that the
stories this year focus more on the science rather than the cultural
significance and sheer beauty of the place. However, I cannot help but
write about and photograph the beauty, and I will draw upon the library
of Jim's underwater photography to augment my own efforts to document
the scientists' work.
Aloha,
Dan Suthers  Back to 2004 Expedition Home
