sorting through the tubeworm bush

Erik and Stephane sorting through the tubeworm bush on the deck of the ship. We try to remove all of the animals before we preserve the bush. In this way we can keep them in better condition until we get back to Penn State. Image courtesy of Gulf of Mexico 2002, NOAA/OER.
