August 13 Sea Grant Oil Spill Seminar on Overlooked Species
Learn about species that media often overlook during a spill and those species' potential roles in guiding restoration efforts. Speakers include Patrick Schwinn (foraminifera), Frank Hernandez (zooplankton & ichthyoplankton), Kayla Kimmel and Barret Fortier (sturgeon, alligator gar, fur-bearers, vegetation), Scott Zengel (fiddler crabs, marsh periwinkle), Linda Hooper-Bùi (insects, spiders), and Michael Polito (marsh food webs). The seminar will be held at the Southeast Louisiana National Wildlife Refuges Complex in Lacombe, Louisiana. Click here to register and attend in person. Click here to join the webinar online.
