👉 In Case You Missed It…
Stockton’s terrapin conservation project held its last release of Diamondback Terrapins last Friday, Oct. 2, at Glenn by the Bay in Absecon. The terrapins included some rehabilitated rescue terrapins and some hatched from eggs taken from injured terrapins. John Rokita, assistant supervisor of Academic Lab Services; along with Melissa Laurino, animal care specialist; and alumna Evelyn Kidd were on site for the release.
đź“° Media coverage included6ABC,The Press of Atlantic City, New Jersey 101.5, and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
🛥️Just an hour after bubbles surfaced from the sinking of a tugboat, push boat and barge, the vessels resurfaced on a computer screen inside the cabin of the R/V Petrel in a sonar image mapping their final resting spots on the Little Egg artificial reef site.
Over the course of a couple hours, Steve Evert, director of the Stockton University Marine Field Station, had watched the ocean engulf three boats. Over the coming months, he along with students and other faculty will monitor the marine life that is attracted to the reef habitat.
The Press of Atlantic City covered the story.
