Join REEF at the Public Library as we dive into what conservation genetics is and how it can help us combat difficult ecological problems like invasive species! After a brief presentation, participants are welcome to take part in extracting DNA from a strawberry and see how we can use DNA to find out what invasive lionfish are eating.
Presented by Annika Olson, REEF Marine Conservation Intern
