Leal\, Ph.D.\, Interim Director & Curator\, Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum \nThe presenter will discuss the some of the most recent finds and facts about the influence of ocean acidification on mollusks. Mollusks are small\, slow-moving\, slimy creatures that are barely noticed by most people. But there is much more to them than just a trail of slime or pretty empty shells. Mollusks are the second most diverse group of animals on Earth. There are at least 75\,000 known species of mollusks\, of which around 60% are marine. They are present in virtually all of Earth’s natural environments and ecosystems\, including deserts\, cold mountain springs\, rainforests\, and the deepest ocean trenches. They are important links in the oceans’ food webs. And\, given the close association between accelerated increases in dissolved carbon dioxide (ocean acidification) and the chemical processes involved in shell growth\, mollusks are probably the earliest to be affected by that human-induced phenomenon. \nOcean acidification is caused by the increased uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide by sea water. More acidic sea water affects the shells of planktonic (open-water) mollusks\, thinning and opening holes in those delicate structures. Acidification is already a tangible threat to several species of planktonic mollusks\, including sea butterflies (pteropods)\, which are key links in open-ocean food webs\, serving as food for many species of fish\, which in turn feed larger animals such as sea birds\, whales\, and even polar bears. Recent research also shows\, for instance\, that the small\, delicate larval shells of larger species are adversely affected. Minute increases in the oceans’ acidity going forward will certainly prove to be harmful to large numbers of species of molluscan species. \nTo celebrate its current “H2O Art Exhibition\,” on display at the Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum from February 9 through April 30\, 2021\, the Museum is presenting a free three-lecture series on the life-giving liquid\, which will be available virtually via Zoom.

Katherine will discuss a recent research study that is funded by the U.S. Geological Survey in partnership with Florida Atlantic University using data collected from 2005 – 2019 via game cameras. The area of focus for her study is on improving the understanding of mammalian use of tree islands in the Everglades\, specifically Bobcats. This presentation will provide insight into how terrestrial mammals respond to changing water levels and why we should conserve these critical habitat areas. \nCheck out the full schedule for the 2021 Virtual Speaker Series presented by LCEC at http://bit.ly/2021SpeakerSeriesByLCEC \nREGISTER HERE \nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://santivachronicle.com/event/crow-bobcat-spatial-ecology/ LOCATION:Fla CATEGORIES:Environmental END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210316T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210316T173000 DTSTAMP:20260504T100650 CREATED:20210116T181656Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210116T181656Z UID:10003055-1615910400-1615915800@santivachronicle.com SUMMARY:CROW: Citizen Science & Invasive Lionfish Removal DESCRIPTION:Citizen Science & Invasive Lionfish Removal \nPresented by Madalyn Mussey\, Education & Outreach Program Manager for Reef Environmental Education Foundation \nMore than 37 non-native marine fish have been documented in Florida coastal waters\, most believed to be released aquarium pets. Invasive lionfish\, first sighted in Florida in 1985\, are the only one of these species to have become established and are now causing severe problems throughout the western Atlantic\, Caribbean\, and the Gulf of Mexico. Learn about the threats invasive marine fish pose to their non-native environments and what is being done to combat one of the most infamous invasive fish species. \nCheck out the full schedule for the 2021 Virtual Speaker Series presented by LCEC at http://bit.ly/2021SpeakerSeriesByLCEC \nREGISTER HERE \nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print URL:https://santivachronicle.com/event/crow-citizen-science-invasive-lionfish-removal/ LOCATION:Fla CATEGORIES:Environmental END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210310T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Indiana/Indianapolis:20210312T120000 DTSTAMP:20260504T100650 CREATED:20210303T172619Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210303T172619Z UID:10003070-1615366800-1615550400@santivachronicle.com SUMMARY:Active Hope in Difficult Times DESCRIPTION:TOGETHER—A Way Forward is sponsoring a timely three-day online workshop\, “Active Hope in Difficult Times: Moving from Despair to Empowerment.” This workshop is intended to assist in the spiritual challenges of the pandemic times.

Poole will bring us up to date on the status of one of our best-loved birds of prey using part travelogue\, part biography and part scientific detective story. \nThe past 50 years have seen an extraordinary resurgence in Osprey numbers globally. Locally\, on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach\, 125 osprey nests are currently being monitored by volunteer nest monitors. This good-news story has been triggered not just by cleaner waters and less contaminated fish\, but also by greening cultures — dedicated groups of people who have built and protected nest sites for Ospreys and have brought the species back to regions where it has been missing for decades. Dr. Poole\, will lead us through this story with dazzling looks at some of the places where Ospreys are found\, and with introductions to a few of the colorful characters who have helped make this Osprey revival possible. \nAlan Poole\, an Associate of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology\, was editor of the Birds of North America life history series for 22 years. He lives along the Westport River estuaries in southeastern Massachusetts\, and has been studying Ospreys for over 35 years. Alan has written two books on the species to include the recently published Ospreys: the Revival of a Global Raptor; Johns Hopkins Univ. Press\, 2019. \nTo register for this webinar\, go to the Programs section of the San-Cap Audubon website within the five day period prior to the webinar’s scheduled date of 25 February and click on JOIN in the webinar’s description.
