Welcome Team 5!

As usual, we have an international crew! From left to right: Robert is from Malta and Rania is from Egypt; they have both been sponsored by their employer HSBC bank to participate in the project and are charged with doing a community outreach project when they return home. They are both excited, and sure to take the experience home. Brian and Lynn are joining us from Austin, Texas. This is their first Earthwatch team, and they have come ready for all tasks! (They've also been putting in some additional hours in the kitchen...as I type this, I am smelling Brian's lasagna cooking in the oven...mmmmmmmm). Last, but not least, are Jill and Sarah our mother-daugher powerhouse from Whales. Over the past several years, Sarah has volunteered on lots of dolphin projects all over the world, and she has taken her mum along to help us in Monterey Bay. We appreciate their experience with the dolphins, and are showing them the ropes with our friendly otters.
