Knauss Brown Bag June 16th: Turtles!

Ask Andy all about these cute creatures!
It's Turtle Day in our ongoing lunch time Brown Bag seminar series!  This Thursday, we'll hear from two more Sea Grant fellows who are eager to share their graduate research with the NOAA community.  First, Andy Coleman (U.S. Senate Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Oceans, Atmosphere, Fisheries, and Coast Guard) will tell us about his work on the Biology and Conservation of the Diamondback Terrapin in Alabama salt marshes.  Second, we'll hear all about how Katrina Phillips (Communications Office, NOAA OAR) has helped unlock the mysteries of loggerhead sea turtle nesting and offshore foraging through the use of satellite tagging.  
Ask Katrina what all these little dots are!

Come on over to the NOAA Central Library at noon to hear these guys wow us with their expertise on these species that are important to the southeast and Gulf of Mexico areas. Contact the Brown Bag Committee or view the NOAA Seminar Page for remote access information.




Looking forward to seeing everyone there!
