"The climate of the 1970s is not our current climate. The rules of the game have changed.” Three @universityfri #URIGSO alums discuss the decrease in the winter flounder population in Narragansett Bay in a new @hakaimagazine & @TheAtlantic article.

In Rhode Island, climate change has devastated winter-flounder populations. Is it time to give up on this treasured fish? @ben_a_goldfarb investigates for @hakaimagazine: on.theatln.tc/ThfI1qn

Really cool science coming from @URIGSO Masters student @lindsay_agvent studying movement ecology with #Isotopes to help develop a more sustainable Jonah Crab Fishery. #WomenInSTEM #SustainableFisheries

the aquarium @URIGSO gives an awesome opportunity to observe my study species, the Jonah crab, live. much more exciting than seeing them in lab for dissection, all in the name of science right? 🦀 check out picture # 3 for a comparison of pre and post molt size
