Click on the video link above to learn from our own Dr. Hal Avery on research being conducted at Barnegat Bay with the assistance of Earthwatch volunteers.  Abigail Dominy is one of the student leaders/facilitators working with the voluteers and the graduate students.

Bioko–An Island Ark  

Bioko Island is just off the west coast of Equitorial Guinea, Africa.  In January 2008, our own Dr. Gail Hearn and, undergraduate student, Abigail Dominy of Drexel’s Bioscience department and others went to Bioko Island to document primates and turtles.  Tagging along were several photographers and writer, Virginia Morell, from the National Geographic.

The story and images of the expedition are now published in the August issue of the National Geographic Magazine (finally!)
