  • Sylvia Earle Background Information
    Sylvia Earle Background Information Birth and Childhood Home She was born in Gibbs town, NJ on August 30, 1935. Her early childhood years were on a farm where there were many woods to explore. One of her favorite places was a pond. Her parent, particularly her mother was very influential in teaching her respect for animals. She always emphasized putting animals back where they were found after observing them. Sylvia took notes as a young child on the things that she observed. They also taught her not to fear the unknown. Horseshoe Crab Story Sylvia as a little girl at the beach was curious about the horseshoe crabs and how they moved. She was also concerned that they were stranded on the beach. She tried to pick them up, turn them around and sent them back to the ocean, not realizing that they were coming up on shore to lay their eggs and that she was really interfering with their mating. (see additional notes on horseshoe crabs) Reading As a child she liked to read. She liked science fiction, fairy tales, and animal stories. As she got a little older, she found that she liked non-fiction books even better. One of her favorite books was by William Beebe name Half Mile Down. He wrote about going down in the ocean in a vehicle like a submarine. In her book Sea Change and some of her other writings and interviews she refers to it frequently. After reading that book she started reading more non-fiction books and began liking the encyclopedia.

  • Grab Your Wetsuit! We're Going on a Deep Sea Adventure. Welcome Back
    Grab your wetsuit! We’re going on a deep sea adventure. Welcome back to the last half term of the summer in Hazel Class – we have got the most amazing, fun filled seven weeks ready for you! We will explore the oceans and seas of the world using maps, globes and atlases and find out about the incredible creatures which live within them; we may even use technology to create new and original monsters of the deep! We will look at the lives of Sylvia Earle, Jacques Cousteau and Eugenie Clark and find out why the oceans are important to them. In science we will look at habitats and find different ways of grouping living things. Then we will turn to the habitats of the sea and after researching deep sea creatures, we will learn about their adaptations. Alfred Wallis and Sandra Stalker are two of the artists we will focus on. If we are really lucky we may even get to speak to one of them via the computer!

From the first time she saw a shark in an aquarium, Japanese-American Eugenie was enthralled. Instead of frightening and ferocious eating machines, she saw sleek, graceful fish gliding through the water. After she became a scientist—an unexpected career path for a woman in the 1940s—she began taking research dives and training sharks, earning her the nickname the “Shark Lady.” 9780807521878//$16.99 About Heather Lang Heather Lang is the author of several picture book biographies, including The Original Cowgirl: The Wild Adventures of Lucille Mulhall and Fearless Flyer: Ruth Law and Her Flying Machine.

  • So We Can Compare Our Data
    FIO Block Grants - Final Report MOTE MARINE LABORATORY: EFFECTS OF THE DEEPWATER HORIZON OIL SPILL ON EPIPELAGIC AND LARGE COASTAL SHARKS AND TELEOSTS OF THE GULF OF MEXICO Robert E. Hueter SCIENCE ACTIVITIES 1) General Summary This project led by Mote Marine Laboratory and the University of North Florida was designed to assess the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on certain species of epipelagic and coastal sharks and other fishes inhabiting the northeast Gulf of Mexico. We sought to determine the sublethal effects of petroleum-derived contaminants, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), using key biomarkers in blood and other tissues from these species. We also sought to understand patterns of movement in epipelagic fishes of the Gulf, to detect any novel behavior as a result of the spill. A total of 27 species of large Gulf fishes were sampled during the two years of the study. Collections from these specimens comprised 2,791 individual samples of various tissue types including blood, muscle, liver, bile, gill, kidney, gonads, genetics, vertebrae, and stomach contents. Eight separate research cruises involving 24 project participants and 23 students were used to make these collections. Limited tagging was conducted because overall catch rate was low (< 5 fish per 100 hooks) and specimens were needed for lab analysis. One longfin mako was the first of this species to be satellite- tagged anywhere in the world, and this shark showed significant movement out of the Gulf into the northwest Atlantic in a period of three months. Attempts to obtain blood samples from whale sharks were unsuccessful in US Gulf waters but the technique was applied successfully in Mexican Gulf waters; however, permitting regulations did not allow us to transport these samples to the US for analysis.

DEAN GRUBBS 4 SHANNON HOY 3,5 1Mystic Aquarium, Mystic, Connecticut 06355, USA corresponding author: [email protected], ORCID #0000-0002-6023-2829 2University of Connecticut, Department of Marine Sciences, Groton, Connecticut 06340, USA 3National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910 USA 4Florida State University, Coastal and Marine Laboratory, St. Teresa, Florida 32358, USA 5 Cherokee Nation Strategic Programs, Arlington, Virginia 22202, USA Abstract Observations of deep-sea dogfishes (family Squalidae) were made opportunistically via a remotely operated vehicle at a large food fall, a recently dead Atlantic Swordfish, Xiphius gladius, on a topographic rise at 453 m depth off South Carolina, USA (NW Atlantic). Genie’s Dogfish, Squalus clarkae (formerly S. mitsukurii), and Roughskin Dogfish, Cirrhigaleus asper, were the principal scavengers. Additional scavengers included crabs (Callinectidae) and a cutthroat eel (Synaphobranchus sp.). At least two Wreckfish, Polyprion americanus, were attracted to the carcass, and one was observed to prey directly upon a small dogfish. The aggregation of highly vagile scavengers to food falls, sources of organic carbon transfer to the deep sea, is generally assumed to be based on odor plumes, but acoustic cues from large and active scavengers can also account for rapid attraction of other scavengers and predators.
