Our Saturday Salamander program gave participants an opportunity to get an up-close and personal look at blue-spotted salamanders and four-toed salamanders — the “elusive” amphibians of the South Fork, Mr. Sabin called them.
• ”These are the pure genetic strain because Montauk peninsula is an isolated habitat, so they don’t interbreed,” Frank Quevedo, executive director of SOFO, said, adding that Montauk boasts a unique habitat.

Repost: @taggingnemo: A few weeks ago, I went on a shark tagging expedition for my thesis research in NY. We managed to tag six young-of-the-year and juvenile white sharks the week I was there. It was an experience of a lifetime and I couldn’t have had a better team to work with!
.
We attached pop-off satellite archival tags on all six sharks, and two of the sharks were dual tagged with FastGPS tags too. By combining two different satellite tags, we can determine the position estimate of the shark both vertically and horizontally in the water column. This will allow us to better understand how these young fish are using the water column and properly manage this apex predator.
