Catching the Current Poster

Catching the Current: Who Goes With the Flow?, guides understanding the ecosystem of the South Atlantic Bight and the Gulf Stream as interpreted by a team of researchers. Using information from coastal ocean observing systems, biologists, chemists, geologists, physicists, and oceanographers collaborate to develop tools that support the conservation of marine resources. With these tools, they understand the shifting of the Gulf Stream, spawning and dispersal of sea life, and migration and life cycles of marine animals. Special emphasis is placed on the Charleston Bump, sea turtles feeding in shallow waters, and satellite tracking of tagged swordfish.
