The goal is to investigate and model how rapidly changing ocean temperatures and pH levels disrupt stone crab larval development, behavior and dispersal among habitats along the Florida coasts. Gravinese\u2019s previous work has shown that stone crabs can be sensitive to environmental stressors throughout their larval development.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson, Gravinese says, is \u201ca form of educational outreach and an effort to communicate our results with the community, educators and students. We take subsets of the data we collect and develop an interactive lesson for educators at the college and high school level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221;
