Irmageddon:

Impacts on Marine Fisheries Research in the Keys

speakers: Jessica Keller & Ariel Wile – FWC/FWRI biologists

Hurricane Irma impacted more than the Florida Key’s infrastructure and economy. Ongoing research in the marine environment off the keys has been affected, including the study of the behavior and population status of commercially important fish. While missing equipment and changes in nearshore juvenile fish habitat have been assessed, long term changes in fish populations will take more time to evaluate. 

Upcoming Topics:

March 6 - The fate of FWRI Sponge & Coral Nurseries Post-Irma 

March 20 – Post-Irma Florida Reefs Assessments & Triage 

April 3 - Queen Conch after Irma
