Why We Choose to Live Here

With Dr. John Dindo

Dr. John Dindo, Senior Marine Scientist III at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, brings decades of experience in coastal marine ecology to his lecture, “Why We Choose to Live Here.” With a background that spans from studying salmon migration in Alaska to investigating heron and egret colonies on Cat Island in the Mississippi Sound, Dr. Dindo offers a comprehensive perspective on the natural history of the Gulf Coast. His research delves into the impacts of hurricanes on island ecosystems and explores deep-sea environments, including methane-rich habitats in the Gulf of Mexico. In this lecture, Dr. Dindo will share insights into the ecological richness of the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and the Gulf Coast, highlighting the factors that make this region a unique and vital place to live.
