As part of the Margaret A. Davidson Coastal Career Development Program, The Coastal Society has organized a full-day workshop to provide valuable job skills and information to the next generation of coastal practitioners. Speakers will share insights on the coastal job market, activities will provide career-building skill development, and attendees will have the opportunity to network with speakers and potential mentors. Participants must register.

Copepods are a diverse Subclass of crustaceans and inhabit a wide range of environments in the Great Lakes Basin. These minute (0.5-2.5 mm) crustaceans are important consumers of algae and prey for fish. US EPA Great Lake National Program Office assesses zooplankton communities across all five Great Lakes to assess lower food web health. A brief workshop covering the systematics of copepod morphology, along with an overview of copepod species known to the Laurentian Great Lakes including two recently detected nonnative species. Both lecture and lab time will be allotted to allow participates to achieve a basic understanding of copepod morphology, hands-on experience in copepod dissection, and the use of taxonomic keys to identify copepods. The USGS online key for copepods will be a primary resource. Participants are encouraged to bring copepod specimens of interest for analysis but voucher specimens will also be provided for attendants. Microscopes and lab equipment will also be provided for participants. The orders Cyclopoida, Calanoida, and Harpacticoida will be covered, as well as some parasitic forms (Siphonostomatoida, Poecilostomatoida, Arguloida). We welcome all levels of interest. Participants must register.

Educator’s Day is part of the Great Lakes Sea Grant Network’s sponsored Center for Great Lakes Literacy (CGLL) project. This program is designed to have CGLL teachers come together from around the basin and interact with IAGLR researchers and fellow educators. The educators will attend IAGLR sessions and then gather to exchange ideas and discuss scientific information with their peers and IAGLR researchers who are invited to interact with the teachers. The goals are to have the educators learn new information that they can share with their students and establish working relationships with the researchers.
