Great to see water fountains in airports but why so many people ignore an opportunity to:
save money

Did you ever try to catch the species you work with fellow #fisheries_researchers? When being out with professionals one gets the impression that fishing is a simple business, but when you try yourself you see that the decisions fisherman take are build on a wealth of knowledge (that I lack :D).
