In today's episode, Christine talks with Lieutenant Junior Grade (LT. J.G.) Alice Beittel, who is a commissioned officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Corps (NOAA Corps), currently serving as the Advanced Survey Technology Officer at the NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center in San Diego. She shares what the NOAA Corps does, the incredible history of the first women who worked for NOAA, and shares how she stays passionate about the industry. Alice says if you are interested in adventure, science, or teamwork, you will want to check out NOAA for possible work because they have it all, and it is very rewarding work. They have great benefits like longer parental leave, station change reimbursement, pet reimbursement, other well-being reimbursements, travel allowance, and increased health/wellness benefits. Previously, Alice served on the NOAA Ship Rainier as a deck watch officer and hydrographic surveyor. During her time with NOAA Ship Rainier, she conducted ship seafloor mapping operations throughout southeast Alaska, Kodiak, and coral reef habitat surveys in the Mariana Islands archipelago. As an NOAA Corps officer, she wears many hats, including deck watch officer, ship navigator, hydrographer, diving officer, damage control officer, public affairs officer, and NOAA working SCUBA diver. Prior to joining the NOAA Corps, Lt. j.g. Beittel completed a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Management and a minor in Geographic Information Systems from the University of California, Davis.

Sooner or later, the food requirements of nine billion people with increasing appetites for seafood must be addressed. Although aquaculture may supply the majority of the global ‘seafood’, most aquaculture is fed meal from wild caught fish, such as sardine and anchovy. To estimate the distributions and abundance of these and other small fish off the west coast, NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center routinely conducts “acoustic-trawl” surveys. David Demer will briefly describe the vessels, instrumentation and methods that are used to conduct these surveys, and provide a virtual tour of the world-class facilities in La Jolla that are used to develop the next generation of autonomous, ocean-sampling technologies. Join us to learn more about this exciting technology and be part of a discussion about possible ethical challenges. Series: "Exploring Ethics" [Humanities] [Science] [Agriculture] [Show ID: 34378]
