You can't see a tuna from outer space, but that isn't stopping NASA and UAH from lending a hand in efforts to protect tuna and their tiny larvae in the Gulf of Mexico. Maury Estes, a research scientist in UAH's Earth System Science Center, is spending more than a week aboard the research ship F.G. Walton Smith prowling the gulf between Florida and Texas with a team of scientists led by NOAA's Dr. John Lamkin who want to know more about where Atlantic bluefin tuna spawn and other details of their private tuna lives.
