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.
Join SECOORA for a webinar, December 10 at 12 PM ET, with Dr. Peter Hamilton from North Carolina State University.

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.
Mark your calendars for the SECOORA 2020 Annual Meeting – May 18 and 19, 2020 – in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Keep a look out for more information. We hope to see you there!
Underwater soundscape data analysis will soon be a more efficient. Dr. James Locascio, Mote Marine Laboratory, was awarded funding from SECOORA to use previously collected marine acoustic data to develop machine-learning algorithms that identify biological, geophysical, and anthropogenic sounds.
