2015 Marine Resources Population Dynamics Workshop
The Marine Resource Population Dynamics Workshop is a week- long workshop for sophomores, juniors and seniors with strong quantitative backgrounds with interest in ecology, who wish to explore the potential for a career in the management of marine resources. The workshop is located at the Keys Maine Lab (http://www.keysmarinelab.org/) in Layton, Florida and facilitated by faculty from the University of Florida and scientists from the National Marine Service. Coursework, field work, and social activities are designed to demonstrate the critical role that modeling population dynamics plays in resource management decisions. We encourage applications from students majoring in Biology, Conservation Biology, Ecology, Fisheries, Marine Biology, Natural Resource Management, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Wildlife Science and other related fields.

RTR Summer Program
The University of Florida, National Marine Fisheries Service, Florida Sea Grant and Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation present their redesigned Marine Resources Population Dynamics Summer Program. This twelve-day workshop, all expenses-paid program will have participants work with an Ecopath with Ecosim model to explore management options for invasive lionfish populations. Experience with population modeling or lionfish population is preferred but not essential.
Participants will meet at the University of Florida Campus where the workshop will be held and also travel to the Florida Keys.
Students who are currently enrolled or have recently completed their Masters or Bachelor’s degree or are a PhD student are encouraged to apply. The workshop is intended for students with strong quantitative interests and extensive research experience, striving for a career in population dynamics.
