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.
