USGS Researcher Shares Coral-Reef Expertise with National Park Service
On February 23, Robert Halley of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Center for Coastal and Watershed Studies in St. Petersburg, FL, was invited to present his talk "Causes of Coral-Reef Ecosystem Decline: Hurricanes, Land-Based Pollutants, and Climate Change" to the staff of Biscayne National Park in Miami, FL. Park Superintendent Linda Canzanelli had heard Bob's talk (geared to a broad audience, not just scientists) at the U.S. Coral Reef Task Force meeting in Miami earlier this year and requested that he make a presentation to her staff. The presentation was open to the public and videotaped by the National Park Service. Approximately 40 people attended.
