“It’s distressing to see the animals dead and dying,” said Dean Grubbs, the associate director of research at Florida State University’s Coastal and Marine Laboratory. Grubbs is also a member of the sawfish recovery team and was on the boat last week when the crew caught the healthy sawfish.
Ph.D. Candidate Ashley Dawdy awarded Save Our Seas Grant
This grant will fund her project on smalltooth sawfish in Cape Canaveral. The primary objective of this project is to define critical habitat, including potential mating areas, for large juvenile and adult smalltooth sawfish in the USA. This is intended to have immediate use in species conservation actions and decisions.
