Have you ever wondered what it's like to live under the sea? Whether it's a fish, marine mammal, or invertebrate- all marine life has developed sensory abilities over millions of years to best allow them to survive in ocean environments.
Join us for a deep dive into the wacky ways sea creatures perceive their environments- from reef fishes' ultraviolet detection, to the "sixth sense" of sharks, to the ability of octopuses to "taste" through their skin, plus many more amazing sensory abilities.
Join REEF Director of Conservation Science Dr. Alli Candelmo for an exciting update on current REEF research projects, including Grouper Spotter and SMILE (Size Matters: Innovative Length Estimate).
