The three year old festival was created to showcase the unique nature, wildlife and space alliance in Brevard County, Florida.
All seminars are free of charge.
With a comprehensive schedule from sunrise to sunset, the Space Coast Flyway Festival offers participants many opportunities to enjoy the beauty and wonderful climate of East Central Florida. Ross will talk about the ongoing ecological studies at KSC related to such areas as fire ecology, remote sensing, and global climate change. Join Dr. Grant Gilmore and Wildlife Biologist Robert Day on a sunset dinner cruise down the intracoastal waterway from New Smyrna Beach to Oak Hill to use underwater microphones to listen for and record the sounds of the red and black drum as they call their mates to spawn. The aquatic environment is extremely noisy, particularly at night. The black drum male and female talk to one another with rhythmic robust sounds that are so loud that we must turn the speaker volume down to protect our ears.
