José E. Trujillo, Ph.D., is a marine biologist from Ecuador with advanced degrees in marine biology from Chile and a Ph.D. in marine science from New Zealand. His research has explored how kelp forests support egg-laying sharks and how young reef sharks evade predators using their environment and physiology. As a shark behavioral ecologist, his work highlights key factors shaping shark nursery habitats. Now a Postdoctoral Associate at Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, he leads research on shark depredation in the Florida Keys.
Be the first to make it to the finish line! Join us in a campus-wide scavenger hunt where your fish knowledge and skills will be put to the test.

REEF Into the Blue Book Club will discuss our latest book selection, Four Fish, the Future of the Last Wild Food, by Paul Greenburg
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).
