BBC Stops By

This week we found Toby, from BBC television, and his video camera studio in one of our guest rooms. The BBC was in Moss Landing to interview scientists who have made recent discoveries of new animal species. The MBARI scientists had discovered all sorts of strange deep sea creatures. You can see the animals and listen to the scientists on BBC's new nature series "Decade of Discovery", watch for it . How Toby got all that gear in there and still had room to sleep ........ don't know.

Science at the Inn

You never know who you are having breakfast with at the Captain's Inn at Moss Landing. You may be dining with a shark ichthyologist, salt marsh ecologist, or a submarine engineer. The bed and breakfast is located between two world reknown marine science field stations and their visitors often stay with us. There is MBARI dedicated to deep sea engineering, and Moss Landing Marine Labs part of the California State University system focused on marine science research and education. The folks from Sea Imagine (seaimagine.com) were in town last week with their brand new single person submarine. They were here to launch the sub with the expert crew at Moss Landing Marine Labs. One of the unique features of the sub is that it can be transported on a trailer. They parked it out front of the inn and guests looked it over.
