“Our main job is to focus on science in the offshore environment. We are meant to go out into the high seas, away from the coast, and [conduct scientific] work of every kind,” explained Emmanuel Devred, a research scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
Additionally, the ship features a fully equipped gym, allowing crew members to stay fit during long hours at sea.
