We are kicking off the fall with an Keys Community Intern Mixer- a chance to network with fellow interns, make new friends, and get the inside scoop on who’s working on what in the Florida Keys!
All are welcome.
Light refreshments will be provided.
A fish as beautiful as it is destructive; invasive lionfish have had dramatic impacts on marine ecosystems due to their high reproductive rate and voracious appetites. These visually stunning fish have characteristic red and white stripes and long, fanlike spines and fins.
Join us for Ocean After Hours: Turtle Talk with Professor Phil Allman of Goshen College as he shares his research tracking sea turtles in the Florida Keys.
Learn how researchers can identify individual turtles by the unique patterns on their faces, no tags required, and discover what these sightings can tell us about turtle movements, habitat use, and life in the Keys. Come hear about the turtles Allman and his students are documenting and how divers, snorkelers, and the community can help contribute to the research.
