SUMMARY:Rising to the challenge of coral reef restoration
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jason Spadaro joined Mote in December 2021 as a Postdoctoral Scientist to integrate an ecosystem approach into Mote’s premier science-based Coral Reef Restoration Program. His research focuses on manipulating ecological processes to support the restoration and recovery of Florida’s Coral Reef and other coral reef ecosystems. \nIn this lecture\, on Jan. 9\, Spadaro will explain how coral reefs are in trouble\, and how Mote Marine Laboratory scientists are pioneers in coral reef restoration. Mote’s team actively propagates and restores corals to degraded reef structures\, while actively selecting the most resilient and robust corals with the goal of creating a strong and resilient community of restored corals. \nRecently\, Mote has also invested in the restoration of critical ecosystem functions\, such as grazing by herbivores such as Caribbean king crabs. Led by Spadaro\, Mote scientists are engaged in the aquaculture of this large crab species that consumes many of the algae that otherwise would compete with corals for space on the reef. Tying all of these intricate and complex components together is nothing short of challenging. However\, Spadaro\, his team\, and everyone at Mote are more than up to the challenge with cutting-edge science guiding the way. \nTickets are on sale now at  mote.org/lecture. \n

SUMMARY:Defend Yourself! How Bugs and Bloomers Survive
DESCRIPTION:Insects and plants have evolved often astonishing and sometimes bizarre ways to survive when everything is out to eat them. For more than a decade\, John Lampkin has been photo-documenting thorns and thistles and chemical cocktails\, as bugs and bloomers battle it out. The result is a visually delightful\, fun\, and educational exploration of a 450-million-year-old “arms race.” \nPresented by John Lampkin: John Lampkin’s photographs grace the pages of field guides\, websites and magazines and he won the “American Butterflies” magazine 2020 photo contest. As a neo-classical composer\, he won international prizes for his “Piano Concerto” and woodwind quintets. He has constructed many crossword puzzles\, often with Nature themes\, for the NY Times\, LA Times and Wall Street Journal. At heart\, he is just a guy with a camera who enjoys thinking and sharing what he discovers. \n>>> REGISTER HERE <<<

SUMMARY:Diving Deep to explore the Gulf of Mexico Blue Holes
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Emily Hall joined Mote in the Chemical Ecology Program in 2005 and is involved in research and monitoring of nutrient patterns in relation to harmful algae blooms along the west coast of Florida\, and investigating sources of nutrients in aquatic systems. She also leads the Ocean Acidification Program\, investigating the effects of acidifying waters on the marine environment.  Jim Culter joined Mote in 1979 to develop the Benthic Ecology Program\, specializing in marine and estuarine ecology and environmental assessment with an emphasis on benthic habitats and invertebrate ecology. \nIn their lecture on Jan. 16\, Hall and Culter will answer the question; What are blue holes? \nBlue holes are underwater sinkholes\, similar to sinkholes on land. They vary in size\, shape and depth\, but most are ecological hot spots. A blue hole can be an oasis in an otherwise barren seafloor. Join these Mote scientists as they take you with them on a journey and explore these beautiful and mystery-filled holes in our own Gulf of Mexico! One dive took them over 400 feet below the surface of the water! \nMote Members also receive discounted admission to the event.\nTickets are on sale now at mote.org/lecture.

SUMMARY:Red Tide Demise: Mitigation Initiative Update
DESCRIPTION:Mote Associate Vice President for Research\, Dr. Richard Pierce\, also serving as the Program Manager for Ecotoxicology Research\, joined Mote in 1981 as a Senior Scientist\, developing a research program focusing on the source\, fate and effects of toxic chemicals in the marine environment. With more than 75 published manuscripts and lectures nationally and internationally on his research\, Pierce and Dr. Cynthia Heil\, a Senior Scientist and Director of Mote’s Red Tide Institute will lead a lecture on Jan. 23. Heil\, who has more than 25 years of experience with the science and management of marine and freshwater harmful algae bloom species\, focuses on monitoring and mitigating Florida red tide along with the ecology and management of marine and freshwater HABs\, nutrients and water quality. \nTheir lecture on Florida red tide will explain its severe negative impacts on the environment\, economies and human health along Florida’s west coast\, along with the Florida Red Tide Mitigation & Technology Development Initiative put in place to combat it. The Initiative\, a result of the severe 2017-2019 red tide\, provides funding for Mote scientists to partner with other institutions and companies to conduct extensive laboratory and field research on the efficacy of a variety of potential products and technologies to mitigate the adverse effects of red tide. \nMote Members also receive discounted admission to the event.\nTickets are on sale now at mote.org/lecture.

SUMMARY:Aquaculture's Role in the Global Food Security Agenda
DESCRIPTION:Farming the Future:\nAquaculture’s Role in the Global Food Security Agenda \nDr. Nicole Rhody will lead the last lecture of the series on Jan. 30. With over 20 years of experience in the field of aquaculture and based at the 200-acre Mote Aquaculture Research Park\, she aids in leading a team of scientists focused on conservation and cultivation of marine finfish\, bivalves\, crustaceans and aquatic plants. \nOn Monday\, Jan. 30\, attendees can discover the new and innovative ways Mote’s aquaculture research scientists are working to ensure global access to healthy and sustainable protein options. The lecture focuses on aquaculture\, currently the fastest-growing food production sector globally and a sustainable option for attaining food security. Guests will learn how sustainable aquaculture methods can protect our oceans and help meet the increasing demand for seafood. By expanding our ability to cultivate aquatic animals and plants we can ensure sustainable human food production in the future. \nMote Members also receive discounted admission to the event.\nTickets are on sale now at mote.org/lecture.
