This Nature Coast Currents session introduces the habitats and organisms that are formed by and rely on estuaries, discuss how freshwater input dynamics influence this unique environment, and show a variety of “field work” techniques that our scientists use to investigate critical estuarine ecology research questions.

Ecosystem-based fisheries management, or EBMF, recognizes that individual species are connected to their surrounding environment through food web interactions and habitat relationships.

This Nature Coast Currents session covers a newer but increasingly popular method of erosion control — the living shoreline — and our efforts to install them in Cedar Key.

A UF/IFAS team worked with contractors and the community to restore about 3 linear miles of oyster reef along the historic footprint of the Lone Cabbage Reef tract. In this edition of Nature Coast Currents, you’ll hear an update about the reef’s status and meet the researchers working to measure its effects.

Snook have expanded northward throughout the Gulf of Mexico over the last decade. In this edition of Nature Coast Currents, we will present information for anglers regarding snook life history, seasonal movement patterns, and spatial expansion northward in the Nature Coast.

Join our Director, Dr. Mike Allen, as he guides you through the UF/IFAS Nature Coast Biological Station.
