@ufifaslakewatch.bsky.socialFreshwater ecosystems are changing fast and we need better evidence to understand why. NC-UK’s survey & workshop showed big data gaps, potential for new tools & a clear message: collaboration is key to building a stronger national picture and protecting our waters. www.ceh.ac.uk/news-and-med... 🧪
Show PostSunscreen can be confounding. Some formulations are thick and chalky, others are clear and “lightweight,” some come as a lotion, others as sprays, sticks and gels. And then there’s the question of SPF—how high is high enough? How sunscreen really works: spklr.io/63329EMpNW
Show PostOur @ufifaslakewatch.bsky.social team collected about 300 fish samples during the 2026 SWFL Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area (CISMA) Invasive Freshwater Fish Roundup held in Fort Myers on April 26. The samples will be tested for mercury level in our LAKEWATCH lab.
Show PostThe ratio of marked to unmarked fish helps us model the population abundance. Later in the semester, students learn to model the bass population, using field data they directly collected. And their estimates go into a long-term data base on bass abundance in Lake Alice, which dates back to 1988!
Show PostYou can jog around Lake Alice -- or you can go out on it. Students in our FAS 4305C Introduction to Freshwater Fishery Science course are currently doing a mark/recapture study to estimate the Florida bass abundance of Lake Alice. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu35...
