Today we say goodbye to Rachel Woodside, CMAR`s @coveoceanns Summer Intern. Rachel worked with the Coastal Monitoring Program team to process ocean data, research database options, and write R code for data processing. Thank you for your valuable contributions Rachel!

Can you find all four Perennia staff in the photo? Our crew was hand thinning the fruit on Gala trees for a research trial on thinning. We timed the hand thinning process for each treatment because time can help us approximate labour savings for commercial farms. Hopefully by now you have found Jenna, Jon, Sophie, and Jordan among the trees!
