    We went out with two divers working on the Kimbro lab’s new Apalachicola Bay study and put a camera on one of them. The images of the oyster reefs at the bottom of the bay give an indication of the severity of the fishery crisis there.

    by Randall September 27, 2012

    On this week’s video, we go for a snorkel in St. Joe Bay and peer into seagrass beds. While looking at the many interesting creatures that call turtlegrass home, Dr. Randall Hughes and visiting researcher Dr. Peter Macreadie clue us into the many services provided by the habitat.

    SciGirls Tallahassee (and Rebecca) Cope with Marsh Mud

    by Rebecca August 28, 2012
    by Rebecca August 28, 2012

    We spend a lot of time showing you shots of scientists working and animals in their habitats, and not enough showing you what it’s like to actually walk in a salt marsh or oyster reef. On this week’s video, the WFSU/ Mag Lab SciGirls walk into the mud and learn what field work is all about. Also, new “In the Grass, On the Reef” associate producer Rebecca Wilkerson recounts her first visit to an oyster reef.

    Dr. Randall Hughes looks back at her first exposure to research and coastal ecosystems as the SciGirls visit her lab. On this week’s video, the SciGirls learn that if there is anything harder than making good science, it’s talking about it.
