\"AmyWellfleet Bay\u2019s Education Coordinator Amy Fleischer wants to know: What ignites a person\u2019s passion to become a lifelong learner, active conservationist, or part of the scientific process?<\/p>\n

For Amy, as a young child, it was Dr. Eugenie Clark\u2014a pioneering female scientist known as \u201cThe Shark Lady.\u201d Dr. Clark is world-famous for having founded the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, FL, among other accomplishments, and was a marine biology professor at the University of Maryland for 32 years. Four species of fish have been named after her and<\/i> she received the esteemed Explorers Club Medal.<\/p>\n

So you can image Amy\u2019s delight when, in 2009, she joined Dr. Clark on a research expedition to the Flores Sea in Indonesia to study a new species of sand diver fish, Trichonotus elegans<\/i>.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Clark\u2019s driving curiosity and passion for the ocean blasted through the boundaries that existed for female scientists, and paved the way for me,\u201d explains Amy. \u201cTo be able to learn first-hand from her, to dive with her, was one of the highlights of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"trickyOn March 9, Amy will present\u00a0Dive into Science: In Search of \u201cTricky Fish\u201d in the Flores Sea with Dr. Eugenie Clark<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at the Boston Sea Rovers\u2019 Annual Clinic<\/a><\/strong> in Danvers. In addition, she will lead a\u00a0hands-on sea turtle activity<\/a><\/strong> for children at the show.<\/p>\n

The Boston Sea Rovers is a nonprofit volunteer organization\u00a0dedicated to increasing awareness and appreciation of the marine environment and is one of the oldest and most distinguished underwater groups in America. This year’s clinic will include presentations and films from some of the top marine life experts, filmmakers, and photographers (including National Geographic Photographer Brian Skerry).<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a science teacher, I want to create these connections that help to motivate action, whether that means inspiring people to work in the sciences or to be an informed citizen,\u201d says Amy.<\/p>\n
