Dr. John Dindo, Senior Marine Scientist III at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, brings decades of experience in coastal marine ecology to his lecture, “Why We Choose to Live Here.” With a background that spans from studying salmon migration in Alaska to investigating heron and egret colonies on Cat Island in the Mississippi Sound, Dr. Dindo offers a comprehensive perspective on the natural history of the Gulf Coast. His research delves into the impacts of hurricanes on island ecosystems and explores deep-sea environments, including methane-rich habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. In this lecture, Dr. Dindo will share insights into the ecological richness of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and the Gulf Coast, highlighting the factors that make this region a unique and vital place to live.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Gulf Coast’s extraordinary ecosystems and discover what makes our region one of the most dynamic and ecologically rich places to call home.
