Welcome to the Fry-Off! Please take a moment to introduce yourselves!

So y’all know quite a bit about us, but we don’t know much about you. This thread is your chance to sit down and introduce yourselves to the rest of the Fry-Off. Last year we did a series of posts laying out our individual conservation philosophies: Southern Fried Scientist – The Data Speak, Bluegrass Blue Crab – Resposibilites to Creatures Great and Small, WhySharksMatter – If you want something done right, do it yourself.

This time, it’s your turn!

  1. What is your personal conservation philosophy?
  2. How did you find this blog? What keeps you coming back?
  3. What would you like to see changed (either on this blog or the world)?
  4. What’s your favorite marine critter?
  5. Sharks, people, deep sea?
