Hubbs-SeaWorld WSB, need volunteers May 18th - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FISHIONADO · 05-17-2011, 03:54 PM

I'll be there at 11am, John said he needed more volunteers to help move the WSB fingerlings into the grow pens on Harbor Dr. Contact John if you can help, or just show up.

From: John Valencia [mailto:john@sdoceans.org]
We finally got the 'go-ahead' from Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute.

2 shifts needed to fill:
Wednesday, May 18th
11AM and 3PM

LOCATION:
San Diego Bay Pens
(Corner of Grape Street & Harbor Blvd)
Park in the metered parking along Harbor Blvd

OUR NEW FISH:
This group is ready to graduate from their nursery in Carlsbad and move on to bigger and better things...San Diego Bay! As a white seabass mentor, we'd love it if you could make it out to great them for the very first time!

At the welcoming party, you'll be able to:

- Start your morning by helping unload about 11,500 fingerlings and transporting them into their new home. We need as much help as we can get, as we'll be unloading them bucket by bucket from the truck. Morning and afternoon shifts available, so if you're free for either time, please let me know!

We need as many volunteers as possible, so please let me know if you can help us! Feel free to bring a friend or two!!!

Thanks,

John Valencia

Those guys are meat eaters, I was hoping to pick up some vegetarians or animal activists on this site.

They transfer from the indoor tanks to the outdoor pens like tomorrow maybe twice a year, but there will be a weekly feeding schedule you can volunteer to support. Send John Valencia an email if you want to get involved. I want to keep these tasty critters sustainable.

Are you kidding me?
All fishermen are fish activists!

If you keep a WSB please turn in the head so they can determine the success of the program.

That's very cool. Thanks for posting the pics John & Wade. Was not able to make it, so the pics are helpful to see what the process is all about.

Those tags in the fingerlings must be really small.
