Over the last couple weeks, TBS had a positive impact at USF\u2019s Oceanography Camp for Girls! \n\nThe OCG toxicology lab was created by TBS students Kylee and Alexandra to encourage the campers to think not only about their environment but how human activities affect the health of the environment and the organisms living in it, namely important recreational and subsistence fishes in Tampa Bay.\n\nThe girls used Kylee and Alexandra\u2019s real fish data to learn about bioaccumulation and biomagnification of chemical contaminants, to learn how chemists use lab machines such as the ASE and GC-MS, and to develop their own hypotheses to test, evaluate, and share their findings!\n\n\u201cWe constructed the Toxicology Lab as a way to show OCG Campers what we do in TBS in a daily basis. We teach them everything from terms like bio accumulation to the internal workings of the GC-MS to ageing fish using otoliths. They got to be real TBS scientists for the day and learn the impacts that environmental contaminants can have on the ecosystem and the community.\u201d- Kylee Rullo-Soletti \n\nWe are so proud of our team for teaching a younger generation about our project, inspiring them to be environmental stewards and maybe even scientists themselves one day! Swipe to see education in action, the campers final toxicology poster, otolith investigation, excel sheet creation, and science experienced in a fun way\ud83e\udd1d\ud83c\udffc \ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udd2c #TBSProject #Outreach #GoTeam\" class=\"awb-instagram-masonry-image\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-mia3-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.82787-15\/731769815_17946069522238250_6949845405493112414_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=106&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&#038;_nc_ohc=4sBmUaKGrM0Q7kNvwHsF8ym&#038;_nc_oc=AdpMhYioCzI5W5BZbINrNFbMjIuYy2BEtAxzRz4fDhrJFLMAUxpdmBokKYh7Olk0pdk&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-mia3-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=aKbnz1sLAChHxBfWLo-CLA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQGUS9fmknKD1DqwxW41bPr1B3A8u6eup6MJnKwaHmKpPkdyaMravGW9sv9dHAcflcpCFPLq4JfC&#038;oh=00_AQC80f1fNGfxJqKJH8PmgCWMTLOBM9gA6ZRvYGsZOPZD9A&#038;oe=6A5258BC\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"instagram-post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DZ5h6SUlJWq\/\"><span class=\"instagram-icon awb-icon-carousel\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\u2728Repost (with link added to story and News Highlights and photos reformatted).\u2728\n\nFishing piers\ud83c\udfa3.

We are also deeply grateful to the first responders and, above all, thankful that no one was injured.\n\nWhile recovery and inventory efforts will continue for quite some time, the Tampa Bay Surveillance team remains hopeful and determined. We have been actively involved in salvage efforts and have already returned to the field to continue the work and stay on track with our project objectives. None of this has been easy, and we truly could not do it without all of you.\n\nThis video captures just a few moments from the past several weeks \u2013 including the Ocean of Support fundraiser hosted at @thehubstpete , recovery efforts at CMS, time back out in the field, and a special evening with the larger CMS community at the @tampabayrowdies match on May 23.

Currently, there are guidelines for PFAS in drinking water, but not in fish. This matters for subsistence fishers especially, because we don\u2019t fully know what levels are safe for people who regularly eat local catch. \ud83d\udca7\ud83d\udc1f\n\nOur project chemist, Devon Firesinger, was recently published as an author on the paper titled \u201cPFAS contamination in Florida estuarine fishes: Levels, patterns, and estimated human and ecological health risks\u201d. Click the link in our story to read it.\n\nScience isn\u2019t just data, it\u2019s a tool to support our communities. \ud83e\uddec\n\n#TampaBay #PFAS #ScienceCommunication #fish #environmentalhealth\" class=\"awb-instagram-masonry-image\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-mia5-1.cdninstagram.com\/v\/t51.71878-15\/656636438_1456766232555853_8029612323709658166_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&#038;_nc_cat=104&#038;ccb=7-5&#038;_nc_sid=18de74&#038;efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&#038;_nc_ohc=Y9L38yhltU8Q7kNvwF-SwEe&#038;_nc_oc=AdqldJnrIjsVaVOM2hjzFRFr-FRH22pGDRroT3LNfduFnCxGDXEuhe6qfVbuzpauu54&#038;_nc_zt=23&#038;_nc_ht=scontent-mia5-1.cdninstagram.com&#038;edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&#038;_nc_gid=aKbnz1sLAChHxBfWLo-CLA&#038;_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQHjnzrP67QXj_RmnKdR6IqhKI696Dk67gDX17nK-wvU17iTmLxLkVYX9ux0DcIPS8eRP2K4Zfm3&#038;oh=00_AQAurDzk83W0xGyFvFNJWLObL41Wgd_vJmyyb-arYzVzCQ&#038;oe=6A524E9E\"\/><\/a><\/div><div class=\"instagram-post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DWCMylkDnVJ\/\"><span class=\"instagram-icon awb-icon-video\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"TBS is collecting oyster samples from Tampa Bay year-round. \ud83e\uddaa\u27a1\ufe0f\ud83d\udd2c\n\nQuarter 3 collections occurred in rather chilly weather, but they sure were fun! \ud83e\udd76\u2744\ufe0f\n\nWith a total of 4 field days &amp; help from our local charter captains, the TBS team collected oysters from 19 different sites around the bay.
