The research cruise that our LA History Museum
sponsor Leslie Harris is on has discovered 100 new
species. Hopefully Leslie found plenty of worms:
HONOLULU - Researchers on a three-week mission to the remote French Frigate Shoals in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands discovered 100 species never seen in the area before, including many that may be entirely new to science.
"There were lots of organisms that people were saying, 'Wow! What's that?'" said Joel Martin, a zoologist for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County.
