On June 29, the Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant held the first of three events in this summer’s Saltwater Science Speakers Series. The organization’s Associate Director Bryan Fluech and Georgia Southern University’s Jennifer Sweeney Tooks, Ph.D., presented “Boat Stories” to an audience of students and curious locals at UGA’s Marine Education Center and Aquarium on Skidaway Island. Their anthropology project is aimed at recording the stories and experiences of local commercial shrimpers and their boats.
