ConversatIANS with Ed Sheldon

In January, we started an informal seminar series called ConversatIANS and hosted our first guest speaker, Ed Sheldon, on January 11th. Ed is a citizen scientist and leader of the nonprofit Fenit Coast Conservation (FCC) in Ireland. Ed spoke about his efforts to collect seagrass data along Ireland’s coast and led an interactive discussion about mapping the seagrasses and how these efforts could be enhanced. Ed is also a colleague of Jon Lefcheck and Katie May Laumann and hosted them last year for presentations in Ireland.
