My Research

Influence of Beach Topography on Nesting Sea Turtles

I conducted research on the impact of post-hurricane beach topography on the behavior of nesting sea turtles on Casey Key, located in Sarasota County, FL. I completed this research as an Undergraduate Research Experience Intern with Mote Marine Laboratory and Aquarium. I will be presenting this research at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology annual meeting in Portland, Oregon this coming January.

This sea turtle monitoring, research, or rescue was conducted under Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Marine Turtle Permits 216 and 226
