Once common in Florida waters, Sawfish are now endangered, and scientists are striving to learn as much as possible about this iconic and fascinating species and how to protect them. Tonya Wiley, an appointed member of the National Fisheries Service’s Smalltooth Sawfish Recovery Implementation Team, has been conducting conservation biology studies of Sawfish since 2001. You won’t want to miss this interesting presentation about Sawfish biology, updates on current research projects, explanations of management tools, and ways you can get involved.
This will be REEF's second trip to Cayman Brac, one of the Sister Islands of the Cayman Islands. Smaller and less developed than Grand Cayman, Brac offers a slow paced island getaway.
Just in time for Halloween, this Fishinar will cover some of the sneaky fish who like to disguise themselves as other species, with a focus on fishes found in the Tropical Pacific.
Your time zone may vary - this is a live, online session that starts at 8pm Eastern time.
Want to improve your fish knowledge? Join us each month for a free Fish Identification Class in REEF's Interpretive Center, led by REEF Volunteers Carlos and Allison Estape. This month's focus is wrasses!
