Our Extension photographer Kevin Hudson went out to sea to snag some great photos of the Master Naturalist training last weekend. We wanted to share a couple with you! On hand was our new Extension marine fisheries specialist Marcus Drymon. (You can learn more about him here.)

It was important to have experts aboard the ship that day because Master Naturalists got up close and personal with a hammerhead shark! That’s just one of the perks of being in our Master Naturalist program—You get a front row seat to research. If you would like to become a Master Naturalist, check out their website or Facebook page.

Of course, you can always follow Kevin on his Twitter or Instagram to see his latest Extension photography work.
