East New Britain, Papua New Guinea Sea cucumber survey

The East New Britain sea cucumber survey this month started in a good note with pretending to be a nice weather. Going back and forth in between Kokopo and Rabaul for fuel runs and the provincial fisheries office. The actual survey started on Saturday the 29th of June at Doi Island (Duke of York Islands). Next day Sunday, went all the way to Matong Island.
Matong Island survey was interesting as we countered quite a good number of White teatfish (Holothuria nobilis).
Later Monday, we did logistics run and on Tuesday the team travelled all the way to Takis point and overnight at Lassul due to bad weather. Next morning, surveyed around Makada and returned back to Kokopo.
Overall the survey recorded few new species of Curry fish and good numbers of various species.
