Spring 2008 - Birch Aquarium
As promised, we have posted the three shark presentations given by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientists during the SWMEA Spring Workshop. These presentations were made available for you to use with your staff, students and programs. Or just for the great memories!
You will notice Andy Nosal's presentation no longer includes the video clips we all enjoyed during the workshop. Due to copy right challenges and ease of downloading the presentation, we had to eliminate the clips. Andy does make suggestions for clips that you could insert yourself.

Birch Aquarium at Scripps does request that any use of the presentations, in their entirety or in part, credits both the scientist and Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
