The Secret Life of Larval Fish: A Geocaching Adventure
Geocaching is a GPS-based scavenger hunt in which participants search for hidden containers. Kat Dale, a graduate student in the Mehta Lab, and the Seymour Marine Discovery Center have hidden 5 caches around the Coastal Science Campus. Caches went live February 26th!
To play:
- Pick up a “passport” for the caches at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center.
- Find a cache around the Coastal Science Campus (5 total).
- Answer a specific question about larval fish that is associated with each cache. The information needed to answer the cache is hidden inside the container.
- Stamp your geocaching passport.
- Receive a commemorative coin at the Seymour Center after finding and collecting all five cache stamps!

Upcoming ‘Diversity in Conservation’ Panel Series
Join us for our panel series during spring quarter! The panel series will address the pluralism of ideas surrounding conservation including: (1) diversity and inclusion within conservation science, (2) alternative approaches to conservation practice beyond the dominant paradigm, and, (3) conservation careers beyond academia.
Our first panel in this series, Diversity and Inclusion Within Conservation Science will take place on April 13th 3:30-5:30 in CBB 110! This panel will focus on how identities including race, gender, class, etc., can impact a person's ability to participate or engage in the field of conservation science, and what we as a field can do to address these issues and support students and scientists from marginalized groups.
