SFDI looks forward to the return of Dr. Gary Rose, who will address us in person at the VFW! (Those who cannot meet in person can join the meeting on Zoom.) We enjoyed Dr. Gary’s presentations in 2015 and 2016 when he talked about the sharks of the Florida coast and the Caribbean, as well as the venomous stings and bites of marine microorganisms.

This Wednesday, July 7, Dr. Gary will take us on a journey to Guadaloupe Island with the great white sharks. Through his anecdotes and animated style of speaking, you are bound to have a great time. Looking forward to seeing you in person or on Zoom!
