320 - Introducing the Bartram's Bass with Dr. Mark Scott
Description
This week, Preston chats with Dr. Mark Scott from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Mark shares some of the unique projects that his statewide research team has completed over the years, including the pending launch of a web-based tool that will allow organizations to predict how changes to the landscapes could impact the biodiversity throughout the watershed. They wrap up the episode by sharing the news that the long-awaited species description will be published very soon for the newest member of the Micropterus genus, the Bartram's Bass. We hope that you enjoy this episode!
Main point: "What we do with the land affects the waters."
