Florida Rivers Research Lab
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the Florida Rivers Research Lab!
The primary purpose of the lab is to help resource managers develop effective policies for managing riverine and near-shore aquatic resources.
We are a multi-department lab in the Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Florida affiliated with:
Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation,
Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, and the
School of Forest Resources and Conservation.

Announcements and News:
We have completed the Nearshore Ecology Project! See what we have been up to the last 4 years on the Colorado River...summary article from BOR Newsletter
Our colleague Karin Limburg wrote a very nice piece on humpback chub for Boatman's Quarterly Review
Questions about our work as part of the UF Apalachicola Bay oyster task force? See the report we co-authored here (summary and full report)

New classes We are teaching "Riverine
Ecology" during spring. We are teaching "Decision
Making in Wildlife and Fisheries Management" with our USGS colleagues in
spring 2015. Time for
Quantitative Wildlife
Ecology WIS 4601 during fall
Summer@Seahorse - New
courses @ Seahorse Key Marine Lab and partnership with UF Biology and Santa Fe College! We co-taught a
course with Dr. Fred Johnson (USGS) on
Decision Making in
Natural Resources during spring 2012 you can watch recordings of the lecture
files on this site. We will likely teach this course in spring 2018...
