Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation funds University of Miami's RJ Dunlap Program
MIAMI June 23, 2011 -- In the past 50 years, approximately 80 percent of all sharks have disappeared this includes the shark populations off the coast of the Sunshine State.
The University of Miami's R.J. Dunlap (RJD) Marine Conservation Program was awarded a $30,000 grant by the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation (GHOF) to conduct research designed to further shark conservation off the Florida coast. The grant has the potential of reaching a total of $120,000 over the next four years.
"The ocean's top predators are under unprecedented pressure from unsustainable fishing practices and changes in the ocean chemistry," said world-renowned marine artist and biologist Dr. Guy Harvey. "This research will give us great insight into how their removal will impact the entire marine ecosystem."
Headed by Dr. Neil Hammerschlag, the RJD Program is investigating the effects on the ecosystem structure due to overfishing top predators. "Models have indicated that a decline in top predators will decrease the number of economically important fishes, and even a loss of important habitats such as coral reefs," according to the proposal.
The team will conduct a series of field and laboratory studies including field surveys, stable isotope analysis, genetic analysis and blood hormone analysis. Taken in marine protected areas and areas subject to fishing throughout the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, field studies will be used to determine community structure and patterns.

Reggie Wayne's lock out offseason & response to teammates injuries ...
Is known to make receivers as Tom Brady is known to do in New England. Reggie Wayne performed his talent silently behind the highlight of the Manning & Harrison connection. Wayne drafted in 2001 by the Indianapolis Colts became number 1 to Manning after Marvin Harrison asked for and was granted his release. Ensuing a gun issue Harrison’s name was involved in… & I rather not go in to.
As did his former teammate at the U record of greatest touchdown tandems.
Now, Peyton has another legitimate tandem evolving infront of the NFL fans’ eyes. Over the 7 years Reggie Wayne played along side Harrison he averaged 997.7 yards, 70.6 receptions & 6.7 touchdowns a season. The 2 years without Harrison & with a core of new young receivers he’s averaged 1309.5 yards, 105.5 receptions & 8 touchdowns.
Reggie Wayne is now surely the number 1 receiver in Indianapolis with a great tight end in Dallas Clark who Ed Werder referenced in the interview in regards to the injuries that plagued the Colts last season.
“When we lost Dallas
The perspectives of the all the individuals playing in the NFL differ, we tend to forget they’re human too. They have their priorities & values as well.
Ed Reed of the Ravens & Reggie Wayne of the Colts both attended the University of Miami, but both played different positions, one defense, one offense. Reed drafted in ’02 & Wayne in ’01 also have different perspectives on the injuries that are almost sure to occur throughout a NFL players career. However, they are both great contributors to the game of football.
I conclude with “END THE DAMN LOCK OUT!
