Hey Glen!
Well, actually I'm hoping that you might be able to help me out with this one. I'm not totally sure which coast to go to. At first I was hoping to go to the west coast and find a fisherman there who could catch some Humboldt squid for me. Humboldt would be great to study because they have only shown up near BC in the past few years, so I would want to figure out what kind of an impact they might be having. But I read on TONMO that Humboldt squid in BC are very very rare and only a few have ever been caught...if this is true then I have to find another species. If there is no way to catch Humboldt near BC, then I have to go to the east coast. The east coast would be preferable, since it's a lot closer. The problem is that I have no idea what kind of squid are there, what time of year they get fished, or how I would go about finding a fisherman who would help me out.
If you have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
