Florida Bay Scallop:


Current Status and FWC`s Monitoring Program

Guest Speaker: Steve Geiger of FWC Fish and Wildlife Research Institute

in protracted periods of very low recruitment. Today, the primary goal of scallop restoration in Florida involves multi-institutional cooperation with the goal of restoring
critical links in the Gulf coast metapopulation.
