blind men and elephant fish : Welcome Mexford and Vincent!

Well as usual we have been keeping ourselves busy here on Lake Malawi. We bid farewell to Ivo this month. What a great guy! And now we get to welcome two new interns, Mexford from Malawi and next month Vincent from Canada!

Mexford has been working for the Malawian Fisheries Department and is currently on study leave to pursue his Masters degree. We love hosting local students! They teach us so much and we in turn have the chance to offer them new experiences of lake through our underwater surveying program.

Vincent is just finishing up his bachelors degree in biology and has long has a passion for cichlid fish, of which Lake Malawi has the most bio-diverse flock on the planet. He plans to start his Masters degree soon. We welcome his enthusiasm and look forward to getting him into the water!
