  Student Group at the 2023 Florida Coastal Everglades All Scientist Meeting

Welcome to the Florida Coastal Everglades blog, a space created and nurtured by graduate students. Within these virtual pages, we immerse ourselves in research projects, share engaging narratives, and present captivating photography, all centered around the Everglades.

As graduate students, our diverse backgrounds enrich our perspectives as we dive into the intricacies of this unique ecosystem. Our goal is to provide you with an authentic glimpse into our experiences and discoveries, uncovering the obscured facets of the Everglades through our research journeys.

Join us on this expedition to unearth untold tales and hidden gems that often stay concealed within the realm of conferences and published journals. In this virtual sanctuary, nature’s beauty merges with the pursuit of knowledge. Feel free to contribute your voice through comments and questions, your engagement fuels our exploration.

    Dear Wading Through Research,
    My name is James Deter Jr and I am a FL resident. I have developed a mobile application about the Everglades and the various inhabitants. I want to spread awareness about this national treasure and reach the current generation of technology users in a medium they understand best. I was hoping to provide content or do a guest blog if possible. For additional information about my project please check out my website at www.bigglesworthstudios.com or contact me at jdeterjr@bigglesworthstudios.com or (407) 504-4092

Does anyone know if there are any in South Palm Beach County that I could fish from shore?

Moreover, as algae reproduce fast and are often adapted to specific environmental conditions, understanding how many species of algae, and which ones, live where and why give us cues as to the health of aquatic ecosystems, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands.  Fig. 1 . Simplified scheme of the role of algae in food webs (from my Ph.D.  Thesis ). * Dr.   Luca Marazzi   is a freshwater ecologist working in   Dr. Evelyn Gaiser’s research group   in the School of Environment, Arts and Society at Florida International University.
