What to do with a 67' stranded fin whale?
Eddie Kisfaludy, Oceans Aloft LLC
Over this past Thanksgiving holiday, Eddie Kisfaludy with help from
Scripps, NOAA, and Sea World sank an adult fin whale offshore San
Diego to create the largest whale fall known to science. A lot went
into making this operation successful in a short amount of time and
it turned out to be quite an interesting story. For the past decade,
Eddie Kisfaludy was the Biological Specimen Collector, Experimental
Aquarium Manager, airplane pilot, and Curator of Field Operations
for the Marine Biology Research Division at SIO. He now owns Oceans
Aloft LLC, a private consulting company specializing in the support
of unique oceanographic, cinematographic, and aviation related
projects.

The Scripps Technical Forum (STF) is a grassroots effort to make
technical expertise and resources more widely available within the
UCSD/Scripps community; to enhance communications between technical
staff and departments; explore extended opportunities for
interdepartmental collaboration, technology transfer, and industry
interactions; to explore innovative solutions to emerging
challenges; to monitor and disseminate trends and new technologies;
and, aid in personnel retention and enhance job satisfaction,
including continuing education, and opportunities for job growth.
The group is open to anyone within SIO and
