Have you ever seen a shrimp dance, or a box crab shooting water from its head, or sea urchin eggs dividing, or a tiny skeleton shrimp wrestling for its life with a voracious hydroid? Some of these wonders can be seen online thanks to the new microscopy/video project at Gulf Specimen Marine Laboratories, Inc., in Panacea, Florida. Jack and Anne Rudloe, directors of the GSML have been tireless advocates fighting for the world they love; authoring many books, educating children and adults alike, and running the GSML. Now their educational efforts are reaching an even wider audience with the production of educational videos available through their website and through YouTube. Thousands of school children have marveled at the creatures in the Lab's touch tanks, but now the GSML team has produced videos that allow us to get an even closer look at the fascinating creatures found in Florida's waters. Additionally, GSML wishes to build a special theater in which to show these videos to visitors. I encourage you to visit their website, view the videos and support their mission.
