With SECOORA's support, a team of scientists are working to improve our understanding of Harmful Algal Blooms on the West Florida Shelf. Focusing on the toxic dinoflagellate, Karenia brevis, the team is increasing bloom sampling efficiency and improving bloom forecasting by using a combination of ship-based sampling, glider deployments, and satellite remote sensing.

Warming ocean waters have been observed globally. How do warming waters affect marine fish, corals, and critical fish habitat? This Giving Consider donating to help SECOORA and the FACT Network answer this question. SECOORA and the FACT Network are partnering to sponsor a graduate student to examine how temperature affects fish movement patterns in south Florida marine ecosystems. Our goal is to raise $15,000 and we are 85% of the way there.
Help us reach our goal and give the gift of a student scholarship.

Since the early 1990s, sensors on offshore moorings have been collecting continuous, long-term measurements of physical oceanographic and meteorological variables on the west Florida shelf. University of South Florida College of Marine Science graduate student and mooring technician, Jay Law, will be developing a twenty-plus year climatology data set to analyze the seasonal and long-term variability off the West Florida Shelf.
