Boardwalk Talks

with Aaron and Sarah

Join members of the Baker Lab at the boardwalk of the Dauphin Island Sea Lab! Aaron chats with us about shoreline science in coastal Alabama and Sarah talks about fish movement throughout living shorelines sites.

These Boardwalk Talks, hosted by DISL, are incredible opportunities for members of our lab to engage with the public and share their research with larger audiences.

Discovery Day
