'BEARS OF THE FORGOTTEN COAST' TOPIC OF JULY 14 LECTURE AT FSU COASTAL AND MARINE LAB

At 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 14, the Florida State University Coastal and Marine Lab will host a free, public lecture titled "Bears of the Forgotten Coast." The guest speaker will be Adam Warwick, a resident of nearby Sopchoppy, Fla., and a wildlife biologist with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission whose work is focused in the Apalachicola National Forest and Tate's Hell State Forest.

Warwick will discuss the interesting characteristics and behaviors of the Forgotten Coast bears and some of his unique interactions with them. He'll also address some of the conservation challenges involved in managing the Florida public lands that encompass prime bear habitat.

Light refreshments will be served following the lecture, which is a part of the lab's ongoing Conservation Lecture Series.
