Angler dynamics for saltwater recreational fisheries in Florida
Recreational fisheries are important economic drivers in Nature Coast communities. There is a wealth of knowledge about where and why recreational anglers fish where they do - this data can help coastal mangers a lot! Find out how in this webinar by Dr. Ed Camp, Associate Professor in the UF/IFAS School of Fisheries, Forestry, and Geomatics Sciences.
Janell Brush
Oystercatcher Research in the Nature Coast
The Nature Coast hosts the largest concentration of breeding oystercatchers in Florida and wintering oystercatchers in their range! American Oystercatchers are dependent on coastal areas that support intertidal shellfish beds and the Nature Coast is critically important for breeding and wintering populations of oystercatchers. Learn about almost two decades of research on the Nature Coast's wintering and breeding populations of oystercatchers from Janell Brush, Associate Research Scientist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
