Protection of the Environment is one of Rotary Foundation's "Areas of Focus". To promote another of our local resources, Newport Rotary welcomes Dr. Carol Price from the NC Aquariums as guest speaker at the November 7, 2022 meeting.  

Carol is the conservation research coordinator for the NC Aquariums where she develops, conducts and oversees research and field work that aim to protect species and habitats of high conservation need. Her work reflects the commitment of North Carolina’s three aquariums and educational pier to promote appreciation and conservation of the diverse natural resources of our state’s ocean, estuaries, rivers, streams, and other aquatic environments. One of Carol’s primary responsibilities is to manage Spot A Shark USA – a citizen scientist program that aims to better understand sand tiger shark Carcharias taurus populations along the Atlantic coast.

Carol earned her BS in Marine Science from the University of South Carolina, MS in Fisheries and Wildlife from Clemson University and PhD in Fisheries Science from Oregon State University.

The meeting starts at 5:30 and the public is welcome.
