Dr. Lauran Brewster, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and formerly a senior research fellow at Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch. She completed her PhD through the University of Hull in the UK after spending three years collecting data while stationed at the Bimini Biological Field Station in the Bahamas. She has broad research interests that range from fish energetics to ecology and fisheries. Dr. Brewster uses different types of animal-borne technology to address questions in those fields and is currently involved in numerous sharky and non-sharky projects. She'll be talking about some of her recent research, which includes looking at the activity of juvenile bull sharks in an estuarine nursery in Florida. Enjoy!

Talked with Gabby Barbarite, Ph.D., Director of Outreach & Engagement Florida Atlantic University, Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute and Dave Wood, U.S. Horticultural Laboratory, from the Indian River Lagoon Science Festival. This is the 7th annual IRL Science Fest and is happening Saturday, October 22nd from 10a-3p and 600 N. Indian River Drive, FT. PIERCE, FL. It's a Free event good for all ages that is put on by local scientists/educators to help educate the public and give them the opportunity to talk face to face with the scientists about their work. There are over 50 exhibitors including: Harbor Branch, UF/IFAS, USDA, Treasure Coast Beekeepers, U.S.C.G, St. Lucie County Dive Team, Audubon Society, Smithsonian Marine Station, Ox-bow Eco Center, Max Planck and Indian River State college just to name a few. They will also have food trucks and multiple stage shows throughout the day. The stage shows include Jurassic Parts Spectacular Science Show, St. Lucie Dance Theatre, Treasure Coast Wildlife Center, Ft. Pierce k-9 Demo. Listeners can get more info, sign up to be a volunteer, exhibitor by going to www.IRLSciencefest.org

Steve Burton has what most people would consider to be the dream job. As the Director of the Marine Mammal and Stranding Assessment program at Harbor Branch, Steve's job is to work with dolphins and whales. In addition to responding to animals in distress, he also gets to conduct population assessments, the scientific way of describing going out on the boat to look for dolphins and whales. He's also lived in, arguably, the three best beach states in the US- California, Hawaii, and now Florida- and it all started by saying “yes” to a flyer posted on a billboard. In this episode, we chat about the hilarious difference between training dolphins and seals, how to identify individual dolphins, and what his field work really looks like. There's a couple of spots where he mentions great ways for you to get involved, so be sure to keep an ear out for those.This episode is brought to you by Florida Atlantic University's Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute. 2021 marks the 50th Anniversary of FAU Harbor Branch's relentless pursuit of Ocean Science for a Better World®. Located in Fort Pierce, Florida, FAU Harbor Branch's cutting-edge research focuses on five major areas: marine ecosystem conservation, aquaculture, the connection between ocean and human health, technological innovation and national defense. During my time at HB as part of the undergraduate Semester By the Sea program, I learned so much about the ocean and what it takes to become a good scientist. The programs and opportunities offered at FAU Harbor Branch have continued to swell since!

An Opportunity to Develop Your Genius: A Homecoming Celebrating 60 Years of The Link Foundation and 40 Years of Summer Interns at Harbor Branch

About the Lecture As part of the Florida Shelf Edge Exploration (FLOSEE II) cruise, two Spray gliders operated by Harbor Branch’s Ocean Visibility and Optics Lab in collaboration with Bluefin Robotics were deployed for several months at Pulley Ridge. These glider deployments allowed large scale measurement of water quality parameters above the coral reef and the surrounding waters in support of the cruise objectives. About the Speaker Dr. Fraser Dalgleish is an Assistant Research Professor with Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University. He holds a B.Eng in Electronics and Electrical Engineering from The University of Edinburgh (UK), and an M.Sc in Ocean Engineering and Ph.D. in Ocean Engineering, both from Cranfield University (UK). He joined Harbor Branch over six years ago and established the Ocean Visibility and Optics Laboratory in 2006. Over the last ten years, his research and development activities have focused on the application of lasers and unmanned marine vehicles to develop new undersea robotic imaging and networking capabilities. The longer term goal of this work is to further develop and apply these novel approaches to operational oceanography to provide otherwise unobtainable data products and other new capabilities to marine scientists. For the last two years, he has been chair for the Underwater Imaging Committee of the Marine Technology Society.

About the Lecture Engineers at Harbor Branch have developed two unique sensor systems that prevent manatees from being injured in flood control gates and navigation locks. Join Larry Taylor, Project Manager for the Manatee Protection Systems Program since 1997, as he describes these innovative solutions and the successful installations at 18 flood gates and 8 boat locks. About the Speaker Larry Taylor is Coordinator, Research Programs/Services in Harbor Branch’s Ocean Technology Program. He has an A.S. in Electronics Technology from Indian River State College. Larry came to Harbor Branch in 1982 and worked for a decade with engineers Bob Tusting and Frank Caimi on diverse projects such as our pioneering work with underwater lasers, structured illumination, electrical stimulus samplers, and optical systems for measuring bioluminescence. In 1994-1995, Larry worked under Andy Clark with engineer Pat Turner to design the prototype for the Manatee Piezo-Electric Detection (PED) Sensor System for vertical lift gates. In 1996, the first complete sensor system was installed at Structure S-26 on the Miami Canal. Larry and Pat next designed and demonstrated the Manatee Piezo-Electric Copolmyer (PECOP) Sensor System for navigation locks. By the end of 1997, Larry had inherited the program management duties for providing these two unique systems to South Florida Water Management District, Army Corps of Engineers, and Florida Department of Environmental Protection. He formed a dedicated Manatee Protection Systems Team. Together they have built and installed systems along the southeast coast of Florida and around Lake Okeechobee with contracts totaling more than six million dollars.
