Garrett was acknowledged recently by his fellow staff at the Southwaest Fisheries Sceince Center in La Jolla, CA for his contribution during the COVID-19 shutdown:

“Garrett has acted as one of the primary workers at the SWFSC La Jolla lab during the Covid-19 shutdown caring for animals and infrastructure in the experimental aquaria facility. Garrett has helped keep things running as smooth as possible given the limitations currently imposed, working alone taking care of projects that usually require 2-3 staff to accomplish. Without hard working dedicated staff like Garrett our facilities and the experimental animals we take care of could quickly fall apart during periods of limited access.”

“During this time of quarantine when we are directed to telework for everyone’s safety, Garrett continues to work in the Aquarium ensuring that the fish and abalone are well cared for and that vital life support systems and equipment is maintained. Without Garrett’s dedication, the aquarium would not be running as well as it is during this lockdown!”

Great job Garrett!
