LIRA's March 2017 Meeting, 3/3/2017

Hi Everyone,
The Long Island Reef Association's (LIRA) next club meeting will be this Friday, March 3rd, 2017 at the Acan Lighting office.

Speaker: Greg Metzner "” Scientific Charters
Topic: Shark breeding grounds off Long Island

About Greg:

Greg Mertzger has been teaching marine science and aquaculture at Southampton High School since September 2001. In his 14 years, he had the opportunity to design and build one of the most state-of-the-art marine labs found in a publicly funded high school in the country. His program educates hundreds of individuals of all ages each year in the area of marine science and the industry of aquaculture.

Most recently, Metzger and a group of fellow researchers formed the Long Island Shark Collaboration (LISC). This team has set out to better understand the population dynamics of all large coastal sharks found along the south shore of Long Island. In addition, LISC hopes to begin to unlock the mysteries of the young of the year white sharks found in these local waters.

Metzger is an adjunct professor of aquaculture at Stony Brook University. He also has held a Master Near Coastal U.S. Coast Guard license since 2005 and runs a successful charter business. He has delivered public lectures and conducted workshops educating citizens on the basic biology of sharks and the scientific methods used by shark biologists to gather data.
